19647 - Reading Nobel Laureate Annie Ernaux

Course Overview

Annie Ernaux, the first Frenchwoman to win the Nobel Prize for literature, was praised by the selection committee in 2022 "for the courage and clinical acuity with which she uncovers the roots, estrangements and collective restraints of personal memory." Brilliantly intertwining personal memoir and cultural history, Ernaux’s writing captures the spirit of her time. Cathy Yandell invites you to join her in lively close readings of A Man’s Place, The Young Man, and The Years, the latter considered Ernaux’s magnum opus as it traces a rapidly evolving French society from the end of World War II to the beginning of the twenty-first century.
