Strayer At the confluence of autofiction and sociology, The Years is a Remembrance of Things Past for our age of media domination and consumerism (New York Times), a monumental account of twentieth-century French history as refracted through the life of one woman. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Considered by many to be the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature laureates defining work, The Years is a narrative of the period 1941 to 2006 told through the lens of memory, impressions past and present, cultural habits, language, photos, books, songs, radio, television, advertising and news headlines. Annie Ernaux invents a form that is subjective and impersonal, private and collective, and a new genre – the collective autobiography – in order to capture the passing of time. At the confluence of autofiction and sociology, The Years is a Remembrance of Things Past for our age of media domination and consumerism (New York Times), a monumental account of twentieth-century French history as refracted through the life of one woman. Author Biography Born in 1940, Annie Ernaux grew up in Normandy, studied at Rouen University, and later taught at secondary school. From 1977 to 2000, she was a professor at the Centre National dEnseignement par Correspondance. Her books, in particular A Mans Place and A Womans Story, have become contemporary classics in France. In 2022, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Review The Years is a revolution, not only in the art of autobiography but in art itself. Annie Ernauxs book blends memories, dreams, facts and meditations into a unique evocation of the times in which we lived, and live.— John Banville, author of The SeaOne of the best books you will ever read.— Deborah Levy, author of Hot MilkThe author of one of the most important œuvres in French literature, Annie Ernauxs work is as powerful as it is devastating, as subtle as it is seething.— Édouard Louis, author of The End of EddyRavishing and almost oracular with insight, Ernauxs prose performs an extraordinary dance between collective and intimate, "big" history and private experience. The Years is a philosophical meditation paced as a rollercoaster ride through the decades. How we spend ourselves too quickly, how we reach for meaning but evade it, how to live, how to remember – these are Ernauxs themes. I am desperate for more.— Kapka Kassabova, author of BorderI admire the form she invented, mixing autobiography, history, sociology. The anxious interrogations on her defection, moving as she did from the dominated to the dominant classes. Her loyalty to her people, her fidelity to herself. The progressive depersonalisation of her work, culminating in the disappearance of the "I" in The Years, a book I must have read three or four times since its publication, even more impressed each time by its precision, its sweep and – I cant think of any other word – its majesty. One of the few indisputably great books of contemporary literature.— Emmanuel Carrère, author of The KingdomThe technique is like nothing Ive ever seen before. She illuminates a person through the culture that poured through her; its about time and being situated in a certain place in history and how time and place make a person. Its incredible.— Sheila Heti, author of Pure ColourI find her work extraordinary.— Eimear McBride, author of Strange Hotel Details ISBN1804270520 Author Alison L.
