Un très court récit sur un « événement ».
C’est événement c’est un avortement, clandestins.
On découvre les ressentis, dangers de ces pratiques d’avortement clandestins. C’est un livre difficile malgré tout.

In an election year where all rights seem to be up for grabs, and two years following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, I somehow didn't think I would be as affected by this Ernaux work as I am.
Ernaux's writing is stark and beautiful. I love the freedom she recognizes while she is exploring and challenging her memories and thoughts on the page.
Her joy (and really any outside emotion) of the time is portrayed in this grey filter while the panic and fear is written in a similar tone but manages to come off the page in color.
It feels silly to rank memories with stars, but this work has become a top favorite of mine.

This manages to be both weirdly emotionless and harrowing at the same time, and that seems to be what the situation calls for. (It’s the true story of the author trying to get an abortion in 1963.) This is a quick read that begs to be reread but maybe not until it stops echoing. Really well done.

“Maybe the true purpose of my life is for my body, my sensations and my thoughts to become writing, in other words, something intelligible and universal, causing my existence to merge into the lives and heads of other people.”

"Cuando pensaba en mi situación, no utilizaba ninguno de los términos con que se la suele designar, del tipo: «espero un niño» o «estoy embarazada», ni mucho menos «estoy en estado de buena esperanza». Esas expresiones contenían la aceptación de un futuro que no tendría lugar. No merecía la pena nombrar lo que yo ya había decidido hacer desaparecer."
Mi primer Ernaux, simplemente magnífico.

Este fue un libro corto y narra de manera autobiográfica la experiencia de la autora en un punto de su vida cuando atravesó por la experiencia de un aborto siendo aun una joven estudiante.
La narración es fluida y clara. Te lleva a travez de su experiencia haciéndote sentir parte de ella, lo que ayuda al lector a entender y empatizar con su situación ya sea que comparta o no su punto de vista.
