Synes Erneaux forklarer så godt om fortiden så de som ikke har vokst opp på 50-tallet forstår. Skulle likevel ønske at den handlet mer om hvordan skammen påvirket henne gjennom hele boka.
“the worst thing about shame is that we imagine we are the only ones to experience it.”
this book, though quite short, gave me some insights into a traumatic event that took place in the author’s childhood. it was also interesting to learn about her day-to-day lived experience of growing up lower-class in france in 1952, when she was twelve. this was my second annie ernaux read and i’m looking forward to getting to her others!

Another banger from the main homie !!! Truly such an incredible portrait of childhood as it occurs…not a golden youth or a gloomy/traumatic revision, but as she says, a sort of “ethnography of the self,” that brings to the fore all the ways in which we can’t even narrativize what happens in our lives and with our (past?) selves. Love especially this idea that memory is not ever present in the way it reoccurs each year with the cycles of nature (as per Proust) but that it is now enclosed in the ephemera of advertisements, trendy clothes, one hit wonders and other modern commercial ephemera that we can’t really get back (other than as a buzzfeed 90s kid article).

Το βιβλίο ξεκινά με μια πραγματική βόμβα στην πρώτη πρώτη σελίδα και μετά ξεφουσκώνει σε μια βαρετή, επίπεδη αφήγηση.
Πέρασε και δεν ακούμπησε, δυστυχώς.
