Annie Ernaux

Annie Ernaux, born in 1940, is a French-language writer. She published around twenty novels, many of which were acclaimed by critics and readers. Her largely autobiographical work explores, among other subjects, personal memory and social experience; Ernaux described herself as an “ethnologist of herself.” One of her notable books is »L’événement«, which was adapted for the screen and released in cinemas in 2021.
