Winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature “Annie Ernaux’s
work,” wrote Richard Bernstein in the New York Times,
“represents a severely pared-down Proustianism, a testament to
the persistent, haunting and melancholy quality of memory.” In
the New York Times Book Review, Kathryn Harrison concurred: “Keen
language and unwavering focus allow her to penetrate deep, to
reveal pulses of love, desire, remorse.” In this
“journal” Ernaux turns her penetrating focus on those points in
life where the everyday and the extraordinary intersect, where
“things seen” reflect a private life meeting the larger world.
From the war crimes tribunal in Bosnia to social issues such as
poverty and AIDS; from the state of Iraq to the world’s
contrasting reactions to Princess Diana’s death and the starkly
brutal political murders that occurred at the same time; from a
tear-gas attack on the subway to minute interactions with a clerk
in a store: Ernaux’s thought-provoking observations map the
world’s fleeting and lasting impressions on the shape of inner
life.
