The years
- Start with the great collective autobiography that Annie Ernaux wrote in the early 2000s.
It is a picture of post-war Europe, from 1940 to the turn of the millennium, which shows the development in a Europe in great change.
But it is also about her own perspective as a woman, class traveler and writer.
My father and the woman
- Two books that are published in one volume in Sweden.
There are two early works in Annie Ernaux's writing that deal with her father and mother.
These are small keys to the rest of her writing.
Circumstances
- Unfortunately very topical.
It is about an illegal abortion that Annie Ernaux had in 1963. The book was written about ten years ago when we did not think that the right to abortion was in danger in the Western world.
A current, strong and painful book.
