The award-winning novels of Annie Ernaux are controversial,
innovative, and address the topical issues of gender and social
class. Surprisingly, there has been no major study of her work,
despite the fact that it is increasingly taught and has been widely
translated. This book fills that gap by presenting Ernaux's work
through a range of readings: those of the author herself, those of
academics, of reviewers and of 'ordinary' readers. Ernaux's own
curiosity about the relationship between writing and the reality
she is describing leads her to adopt a self-reflective approach to
the narration of her life experience. This stimulating introduction
to her work reflects both on the relationship between writing and
identity in general terms, and specifically on the process of
writing literary criticism. In the final chapter the impersonal
register of academic writing is extended by a more personal
dialogue with Ernaux's texts. What emerges is a new critical method
that explores the multiple relationships between readers and texts.
