Writing, the Other Life

Annie Ernaux

WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE

A stunningly visual celebration of Annie Ernaux's work-featuring collected writing by critics, journalists, and 24 previously unpublished pieces by the Nobel Prize winner herself-offering a full view of the author's life, writing style, reception by readers, and her thoughts and influence.

For fans new to Annie Ernaux and longtime readers, this collection of interviews, critical analysis, and diary excerpts also includes visual material-drawings, photos, and newspaper clippings.

Magisterial in scope and size, Annie Ernaux: Writing, The Other Life was compiled and edited by Pierre-Louis Fort and was first published in France by Editions de L'Herne in 2022, a few months before she received the Nobel Prize in Literature. The anthology includes twenty-four previously unpublished Ernaux pieces, as well as literary criticism, essays, interviews, diary entries, a song by Jeanne Cherhal, newspaper clippings, a comic strip by Aurelia Aurita, letters from Simone de Beauvoir.

Never before published in English, this beautifully visual collection includes an 8-page color photo insert with images, handwritten manuscript pages, and drawings sprinkled throughout. It is the fruit of collaboration between six celebrated translators and a groundbreaking work of scholarship and rumination.
