Synopsis "La Place (in French)"

Il n'est jamais entre dans un musee, il ne lisait que Paris-Normandie et se servait toujours de son Opinel pour manger. Ouvrier devenu petit commerçant, il esperait que sa fille, grace aux etudes, serait mieux que lui. Cette fille, Annie Ernaux, refuse l'oubli des origines. Elle retrace la vie et la mort de celui qui avait conquis sa petite "place au soleil". Et devoile aussi la distance, douloureuse, survenue entre elle, etudiante, et ce pere aime qui lui disait : "Les livres, la musique, c'est bon pour toi. Moi, je n'en ai pas besoin pour vivre". Ce recit depouille possede une dimension universelle.

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.
