Simple Passion
Annie Ernaux
Synopsis "Simple Passion"
WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE A New York Times Notable Book In her spare, stark style, Annie Ernaux documents the desires and indignities of a human heart ensnared in an all-consuming passion. Blurring the line between fact and fiction, an unnamed narrator attempts to plot the emotional and physical course of her 2 year relationship with a married foreigner where every word, event, and person either provides a connection with her beloved or is subject to her cold indifference. With courage and exactitude, she seeks the truth behind an existence lived entirely for someone else, and, in the pieces of its aftermath, she is able to find it.
Annie Ernaux nació en 1940 en la región francesa de Normandía. Creció en la pequeña localidad de Yvetot y estudió literatura en la Universidad de Ruán. Profesora de esa asignatura en liceos de Annecy y de la periferia parisiense, en la actualidad vive cerca de la capital francesa y trabaja en el Centre National d’Enseignement par Correspondanse. En Tusquets Editores hemos publicado Pura pasión, La vergüenza, El acontecimiento y El lugar (Premio Renaudot, 1984). En 2019 recibió el Premio Formentor al conjunto de su obra.
