Revisiting painful periods is hardly new territory for writers, but Ernaux distills a particular power from the exercise.’ Cassivi, Marc (24 May 2022). "Les années filmées d'Annie Ernaux". La Presse.

It was selected to be shown at that year's Cannes Film Festival. [50]No-one writes about family relationships with the nuance, both emotional and analytical, that Ernaux does, and such a reflective, self-critical perspective is even more precious. Her exploration of language in their household is sharp …It might initially be read as a cold portrait, but the emotions and passionate thought rage through the taut writing. Likened to Simone de Beauvoir for her astute chronicling of a generation, Ernaux’s prose is intimate and unforgettable.’ Hale, Mike (3 September 1994).

Alison Fell and Edward Welch, "Annie Ernaux: Socio-Ethnographer of Contemporary France", Nottingham French Studies, June 2009. The Academy praised “her for the courage and clinical acuity with which she uncovers the roots, estrangements and collective restraints of personal memory.” We can see Ernaux thinking about writing about her father while waiting for news of her first job. Her words truly reflect the complicated relationship she had with her family. Il posto non è certo quello di lavoro, l’impiego, anche se la trasformazione sociale e le differenze di classe sono molto importanti in quest’opera.Annie Ernaux’s father died exactly two months after she passed her exams for a teaching certificate. Barely educated and valued since childhood strictly for his labour, Ernaux’s father had grown into a hard, practical man who showed his family little affection. Narrating his slow ascent towards material comfort, Ernaux’s cold observation in A Man’s Placereveals the shame thathaunted her father throughout his life. She scrutinizesthe importance he attributed to manners and languagethat came so unnaturally to him as he struggled toprovide for his family with a grocery store and caféin rural France. Over the course of the book, Ernauxgrows up to become the uncompromising observernow familiar to the world, while her father matures intoold age with a staid appreciation for life as it is and fora daughter he cautiously, even reluctantly admires.

They were convinced that being well-read and well-mannered were marks of an inner excellence that was innate. 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.

Retrieved 10 October 2022. A lesser writer would turn these experiences into misery memoirs, but Ernaux does not ask for our pity – or our admiration. It’s clear from the start that she doesn’t much care whether we like her or not, because she has no interest in herself as an individual entity. She is an emblematic daughter of emblematic French parents, part of an inevitable historical process, which includes breaking away. Her interest is in examining the breakage…Ernaux is the betrayer and her father the betrayed: this is the narrative undertow that makes A Man's Placeso lacerating.’ 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). [20] Ernaux also wrote L'écriture comme un couteau ( Writing as Sharp as a Knife) with Frédéric-Yves Jeannet. [20] Following the announcement of the award of the Nobel Prize, Ernaux showed solidarity with people's uprising in Iran against their government. The protests that followed the death of a young woman in the custody of Guidance Patrol (Morality Police) initially started against compulsory hijab law in Iran but soon took a broader focus on liberty. Ernaux said in an interview she was "absolutely in favour of women revolting against this absolute constraint".
