French writer Annie Ernaux awarded Nobel Prize in literature
French author Annie Ernaux was awarded this year’s Nobel Prize in literature for “the courage and clinical acuity with which she uncovers the roots, estrangements and collective restraints of personal memory,” the Swedish Academy said Thursday. Her more than 20 books, most of them very short, chronicle events in her life and the lives of those around her. Her work is uncompromising and written in plain language, scraped clean. In the book that made her name, “La Place” (A Man’s Place), about her relationship with her father, she writes: “No lyrical reminiscences, no triumphant displays of irony. The book received numerous awards and honors. pic.twitter.com/OZAfyPJZ9Z — The Nobel Prize (@NobelPrize) October 6, 2022 Gurnah was only the sixth Nobel literature laureate born in Africa, and the prize has long faced criticism that it is too focused on European and North American writers.
