Synopsis "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Woman "

WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE Another masterpiece of remembering from Annie Ernaux, the Man Booker International Prize-shortlisted author of The Years. In A Girl's Story, Annie Ernaux revisits the season 50 years earlier when she found herself overpowered by another's will and desire. In the summer of 1958, 18-year-old Ernaux submits her will to a man's, and then he moves on, leaving her without a "master," bereft. Now, 50 years later, she realizes she can obliterate the intervening years and return to consider this young woman that she wanted to forget completely. And to discover that here, submerged in shame, humiliation, and betrayal, but also in self-discovery and self-reliance, lies the origin of her writing life.

Annie Ernaux was born in 1940 in the French region of Normandy. She grew up in the small town of Yvetot and studied literature at the University of Rouen. A teacher of that subject in high schools in Annecy and the Parisian suburbs, she currently lives near the French capital and works at the Centre National d’Enseignement par Correspondance. At Tusquets Editores we have published Pure Passion, Shame, The Event, and The Place (Renaudot Prize, 1984). In 2019, she received the Formentor Prize for her body of work.
