FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATUREI will write to avenge my people. It was as a young woman that Annie Ernaux first wrote these words in her diary, giving a name to her purpose in life as a writer. She returns to them in her stirring defence of literature and of political writing in her Nobel Lecture, delivered in Stockholm on 7 December 2022. To write of her own life, she asserts, is to shatter the loneliness of experiences endured and repressed; to mine individual experience is to find collective emancipation. Ernauxs speech is a bold assertion of the capacity of writing to give people a sense of their own worth, and of one writers commitment to bearing witness to life, its joys and its injustices. Author Biography Alison L. Strayer is a Canadian writer and translator. Her work has been shortlisted for the Governor Generals Award for Literature and for Translation, the Grand Prix du Livre de Montreal, and longlisted for the Prix Albertine. Her translation of The Years was awarded the 2018 French-American Prize, shortlisted for the Man Booker International in 2019, and awarded the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation, honouring both author and translator. Review Ernaux has inherited de Beauvoirs role of chronicler to a generation.— Margaret Drabble, New StatesmanHer work attests to the ways in which an individual story is linked to shared histories and her documentation of personal oppression is part of a struggle for collective freedom.— Jessica Andrews, Elle UK Details ISBN1804270709 Author Alison L.
