Niet meer denken dat ik moet schrijven over haar, over haar verlangen, haar waanzin, haar stompzinnigheid en haar hoogmoed, haar honger en haar opgedroogde bloed. Het is me nooit gelukt. Annie Ernaux duikt diep in de zomer van 1958, de zomer waarin ze voor het eerst met een man naar bed ging, tijdens een vakantiekamp in Nor...

Pendant un an, Annie Ernaux a tenu le journal de ses visites à l’hypermarché Auchan du centre commercial des Trois-Fontaines situé en région parisienne. Voir pour écrire, c’est voir autrement , écrit-elle. On redécouvre en effet à ses côtés le monde de la grande surface. Loin de se résumer à la corvée des courses, celle-ci prend dans ce livre un autre visage : elle devient un grand rendez-vous humain, un véritable spectacle. Avec ce relevé lib...

En el panorama de la literatura francesa, Annie Ernaux ocupa un lugar muy especial, no sólo por los temas que elige, sino también por su capacidad de tratar las pasiones menos controladas ¿y no siempre halagüeñas¿ del ser humano con la mirada de un entomólogo que observa un insecto. «Siempre tuve ganas de escribir libros de los que luego me resulte imposible hablar, libros que no me permitan luego soportar la mirada ajena. Pero por mucha ver...
