Annie Ernaux - The Years and other works (11 books)

ANNIE ERNAUX (b. 1940) is a French writer and one of the most important writers in contemporary France. She has won multiple awards, including the 2017 Marguerite Yourcenar Prize for her entire body of work.

Ernaux began her literary career with the autobiographical novel CLEANED OUT (1974), a fictionalized account of the illegal abortion she underwent in the 1960s, and her move from working- to middle-class culture through education. A MAN"S PLACE (1983) was another autobiographical narrative focusing on her relationship with her father and her experiences growing up in a small town in France, and her subsequent process of moving into adulthood and away from her place of origin. Her work combines historic and individual experiences, charting her marriage (A FROZEN WOMAN, 1981), her passionate affair with an eastern European man (SIMPLE PASSION, 1991), her abortion (HAPPENING, 2000), Alzheimer's disease (I REMAIN IN DARKNESS, 1997), and the death of her mother (A WOMAN'S STORY, 1989).

Her historical memoir THE YEARS (2008) was very well received by French critics and considered by many to be her crowning achievement in terms both of its content and innovative form, intertwining personal and collective history over six decades. Described by John Banville as "blend[ing] memories, dreams, facts and meditations into a unique evocation of the times in which we lived, and live", the book's success was recognized by the award of the Marguerite Duras and the François Mauriac prizes, and the English translation shortlisted for the 2019 Man Booker International Prize.
