Annie Ernaux (1940) is the Nobel Laureate of 2022. She was born in a small town in Normandy, France to a working-class family. As a teacher of French, she taught at different universities. She is the only writer winning a Nobel Prize for writing autobiographies, which compose most of her works. Trying to journal her own life experiences combing the social facts, she rolled out 15 books.
Cleaned Out (1974), her maiden work tells the story of Denise Lesur, a 20-year-old college student suffering the after-effects of a backstreet abortion. This is a bold autobiographical novel chronicling sex without marriage, abortion and the pains faced by an immature girl. A bold beginning.
Do What They Say or Else (1977) is the second novel by Annie Ernaux. Set in the author’s hometown, the novel tells the story of herself at the age of fifteen. It takes place during the summer and fall of Anne’s transition from middle school to high school in a stream-of-consciousness style.
A Frozen Woman (1981) narrates how Annie grows from a teenager into a marriage and how she struggles between the role of a teacher and the role of a mother with two children. The traditional expectation of a model wife and mother is killing the real her inside.
A Man's Place (1983) describes the life story of Annie Ernaux’s father, who died after two months when she was certified as a teacher. Through her cold observation, the book delineates how her father grew from an ignored and barely educated boy into a tough and practical man paying little affection to his own family. A lot of repressed emotions are hidden but vividly revealed beneath the words. This book helped Ernaux win the Renaudot Prize In 1984
A Woman's Story (2003) is a biography of her mother written from Ernaux’s perspective. The book starts with her mother’s death after suffering from Alzheimer's for a few years. Ernaux’s description attempts to objectively portray the real woman her mother was and the contradictory relationship between mother and daughter, characterized by love and hate, criticism and understanding. This moving memoir won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in 1998.
Simple Passion (1991) is Ernaux’s authentic and bold description of her two-year extramarital affair with a Russian man. An erotic movie based on this autobiography and bearing the same name directed by Danielle Arbid was produced and was selected to be shown at the 2020 Cannes Film Festival.
Exteriors (1996) is a random journal written over seven years by Annie Ernaux. It poignantly and poetically displays the feeling of contemporary living in the suburb of Paris.
Shame (1998) is a memoir accounting for a dark family conflict. It begins with cold-hearted words like this: On June 15, 1952, the day "[m]y father tried to kill my mother." It is admirable for Ernaux to have the audacity and courage to recall the ugly anecdotal history and reveal the skeleton in the cupboard of her family.
I Remain in Darkness (1999) is a detailed account of how Ernaux took care of her mother after she suffered from Alzheimer’s. it shows the love between mother and daughter, the despair the daughter experienced after failure in helping the mother to recover, and the pain of losing her mother. The language is powerful, ridden with profound and delicate emotional descriptions.
Things Seen (2000) is a journal sprawling over seven years of Ernaux’s life from 1993 to1999. It combines the author’s private life experiences with the historical observations of the world’s big events, such as Princess Diana’s death, the war crimes tribunal in Bosnia to social issues such as poverty and AIDS.
Happening (2000) is a faithful account of how Annie Ernaux at the age of 23 in 1963 suddenly realized she was pregnant as a college student when pregnancy out of wedlock was still a shame and abortion was illegal. It described how she tried to make herself abort the baby with a knitting needle and then visited a backstreet abortion clinic and finally was sent to a hospital emergency ward. This traumatizing experience almost claimed her life. This narrow death has left the author with a permanent scar. The memoir was adapted into the same-name movie in 2021.
Getting Lost (2022) is the diary Annie Ernaux kept during the time she had a secret love affair with a younger, married Russian diplomat. Her previous novel, Simple Passion, was based on the same affair, but her writing in this journal collection is unfiltered, first-hand account of everything.
The Possession (2008) is another semi-autobiography based on the aftermath of her affair. It’s a first-person self-exposure of her jealousy and obsession over her lover’s new partner after six years of their breakup.
The years (2008) is another personal narrative of the period 1941 to 2006, full of memories and even imaginations of the future. It is considered her representative masterpiece, depicting herself in the third person for the first time and providing a vivid portrait of French society just after the Second World War until the early 2000s. It’s a combination of an individual woman’s story with the factual account of the French society in which she lived. The Years reaped a lot of prizes, including the 2008 Françoise-Mauriac Prize of the Académie française, the 2008 Marguerite Duras Prize, the 2008 French Language Prize, the 2009 Télégramme Readers Prize, and the 2016 Premio Strega Europeo Prize. Its English version translated by Alison L. Strayer was a Finalist for the 31st Annual French-American Foundation Translation Prize.
A Girl’s Story (2022) recounts her traumatizing love story in the summer of 1958 when the eighteen-year-old Ernaux fell in love with a man. It described how she submitted herself to a dominating man and how she was deserted and felt lost.
In 2018 Annie Ernaux won the Premio Hemingway for her whole work. And today, on Oct. 6, 2022, she ascends to the top of the Mount Everest in literature, winning the Nobel Prize in literature.
Congratulation on Annie! I will definitely read your memoirs!
