Beschreibung
Considered by many to be the defining work of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate, The Years is a narrative of the period from 1941 to 2006, told through memory, impressions past and present, cultural habits, language, photographs, books, songs, radio, television, advertising and news headlines. Annie Ernaux invents a form that is both subjective and impersonal, private and collective, and creates a new genre—the collective autobiography—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.
