The main difference between Louis and his predecessors is that his book is angrier, maybe because he was only 22 when he wrote it. Tuttavia manca una riflessione generale (inusuale rispetto a romanzi come Memoria di ragazza o L'evento), e forse il lettore ne avrebbe avuto bisogno anche in quest'opera. Narrating his slow ascent towards material comfort, Ernaux's cold observation in A Man's Place reveals the shame that haunted her father throughout his life. For fifteen minutes he showered me with criticism, praise and advice, and I barely listened, wondering if all this meant I had passed.

Narrating his slow ascent towards material comfort, Ernaux’s cold observation in A Man’s Place reveals the shame that haunted her father throughout his life. It’s like reliving memories as you do with old suppressed memories, sometimes to re-imagine them, sometimes to get away with them. Sin embargo, yo por mi parte necesito emoción en mis lecturas, ya sea amor u odio, pero algo al menos, de otra forma tal vez me sienta más inclinado en leer en su lugar un panfleto de tendencia en mueblería.There are no emotions – rare case considering the novel is an elegy for the death of the father of the narrator (Annie? It's the ability to take all those factors into account which makes Ernaux such an astute observer of history and memory, context and class.

Imajući sve ovo u vidu, stiče se utisak da se neozbiljno pristupilo kako prevođenju ovog dela, tako i lekturi i mislim da je potrebno ili ispraviti sve što je nezgrapno, propušteno ili netačno, ili uraditi jedan sasvim nov prevod na srpski. Esta mulher descreve a morte do pai, a preparação do cadáver com uma minúcia que podia ter evitado aos seus leitores e a si própria. viết với lối trần thuật và những câu văn gãy gọn như thể chẳng có tí cảm xúc nào, như thể đang kể về một ai đó xa lạ, Annie Ernaux thực ra đang cố gắng che giấu những tình cảm dạt dào không biết cách nào để thổ lộ của người con dành cho người cha - có vẻ khô khan, xa cách về tình cảm - của mình.
