The years / Annie Ernaux ; translated by Alison L. Strayer. by Ernaux, Annie, 1940- author. New York, NY : Seven Stories Press, [2017] Subjects Ernaux, Annie, 1940-   Authors, French -- 20th century -- Biography. ISBN:  9781609807870 (paperback) 1609807871 (paperback) Description:  237 pages ; 21 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "Available in English for the first time, the latest astonishing, bestselling, and award-winning book by Annie Ernaux. The Years is a personal narrative of the period 1941 to 2006 told through the lens of memory, impressions past and present -- even projections into the future -- photos, books, songs, radio, television and decades of advertising, headlines, contrasted with intimate conflicts and writing notes from six decades of diaries. Local dialect, words of the times, slogans, brands and names for the ever-proliferating objects, are given voice here. The voice we recognize as the author's continually dissolves and re-emerges. Ernaux makes the passage of time palpable. Time itself, inexorable, narrates its own course, consigning all other narrators to anonymity. A new kind of autobiography emerges, at once subjective and impersonal, private and collective. On its 2008 publication in France, The Years came as a surprise. Though Ernaux had for years been hailed as a beloved, bestselling and award-winning author, The Years was in many ways a departure: both an intimate memoir "written" by entire generations, and a story of generations telling a very personal story. Like the generation before hers, the narrator eschews the "I" for the "we" (or "they", or "one") as if collective life were inextricably intertwined with a private life that in her parents' generation ceased to exist. She writes of her parents' generation (and could be writing of her own book): "From a common fund of hunger and fear, everything was told in the "we" and impersonal pronouns.""--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 843.914 Ernaux Er   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Biography B Ernaux Er   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Biography 843.914 Ernaux Er   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 843.914 Ernaux Er   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 843.914 Er   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Biography B Ernaux Er   Checked out 07/10/2024 Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Floating Collection B Ernaux Er   Damaged   Add Copy to MyList Waimanalo P/S Library Adult Biography B Ernaux Ea   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waimea Public Library (Kauai) Adult New Books 843.914 Ernaux Er Biography Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: Prev 1 2 3
