Annie calls her writing style a neutral way of writing. She shares all the thoughts that went through her mind while writing this book You have to admire Ernaux skill to write in a so detached and emotionless way, like an anchor reporting the news. Still, I for one need to have emotion in my readings, either be love or hate, but something at least, otherwise I might as well feel more inclined to read a pamphlet of trending furniture instead. S.

Moreover it’s fascinating that the writer manages to uncover – or, to be honest, quite ruthlessly expose – the vulnerability of her mother with such unsentimental respect, such dignity. I asked myself several times during the reading: “Is this really okay?” Sometimes the writer seems to cross the fine line between honesty and cruelty, and yet… she always manages to end up on the right side of this sharp edge. All because of love. Impudeur inconvenante ou fine analyse psychologique et littéraire, l'ouvrage est écrit dans un style qui n'en est pas un, il est rédigé. Albo d'oro". premiohemingway.it.

Retrieved 7 October 2022.Early in her career, Ernaux turned from fiction to focus on autobiography. [14] Her work combines historic and individual experiences. She charts her parents' social progression ( La Place, La Honte), [15] her teenage years ( Ce qu'ils disent ou rien), her marriage ( La Femme gelée), [16] her passionate affair with an Eastern European man ( Passion simple), [17] her abortion ( L'Événement), [18] Alzheimer's disease ( Je ne suis pas sortie de ma nuit), [19] the death of her mother ( Une femme), and breast cancer ( L'usage de la photo).

All his life, he struggled with money, to pay for the shop, to keep it afloat, always scraping by and worrying about money. Annie Ernaux, daughter, student, aspiring author and mother, dissects the personality of her father, that loving and scary figure many of us had and someday might even become. From childhood to old age, trying to find a place in a society he belongs and doesn’t. And in doing so, taking him part by part, we discover everything that made him be, parent’s parts we may even recognize, in ours.

A cela je vous répondrai, sans hésitation aucune, que pierre qui roule n'amasse pas mousse et qu'un tien vaut mieux que deux tu l'auras ... This book goes by two names, ‘A Man’s Place (Four Walls Eight Windows. 1992 and then later editions) and “Positions” (Quartet Books, 1991). I have no idea why. 😐 I have been confused with the type of relationship the author had with her father, especially in the initial part of this book. Did she actually love him or hate him? I know love is a complicated feeling that can't be explained by objective answers. Still, I felt that the author should have written that portion in a better way. I don't know whether the author was actually confused about her love towards her father due to the grief associated with her father's death or whether the central idea was lost in translation. a b c Joffre, Tzvi (6 October 2022).

In 2019, Ernaux signed a letter calling on a French state-owned broadcasting network not to air the Eurovision Song Contest, which was held in Israel that year. [37] In 2021, after the Operation Guardian of the Walls, she signed another letter that called Israel an apartheid state, claiming that "To frame this as a war between two equal sides is false and misleading.

Her voice is clear and pleasant to hear. Her parents’ expressions are stated in italic, to point out a way of speaking that was theirs and representative of their social class.

Combined with Ernaux’s win, these landmarks suggest not only that women in particular are pushing the boundaries of literature but that a certain kind of intimate experience, skilfully conveyed, can have impact on a majestic scale.
