Annie Ernaux and the brutal art of memoir - New Statesman

He started milking the cows at five o’clock in the morning, cleaning out the stables, grooming the horses, and milking the cows again in the evening. There is one reference to the male sexual organ of her father when his body is undressed in front of the author, she happens to see penis of her father. proprio nel modo in cui viene vestito il corpo del padre appena morto, dopo avergli chiuso gli occhi, pur facendo presto per anticipare l’irrigidimento.Everything that touches on language is, in my memory, a cause for resentment and painful bickering, much more than money. babasını kaybettikten sonra onu anlatmak için bir romana başlaması ve bunu kesinlikle yapamaması, aynen ebeveyniyle mektuplaşır gibi dümdüz anlatmayı tercih etmesi bize ernaux’nun o muhteşem üslubunu kazandırmış. Destacan algunos detalles que hablan un poco sobre la sensibilidad herida de Annie ante actos involuntarios de su padre por ser él una persona rústica con modales poco refinados y ella a pesar de sus orígenes pudo acceder a un mundo burgués y cultivado. Em O lugar, encontramos o mesmo estilo da autora, que a deixou conhecida no mundo literário: a capacidade de escrever histórias envolventes a partir de suas memórias, mas com uma visão menos pessoal. Annie Ernaux, hija, estudiante, aspirante a escritora y madre, disecciona la personalidad de su padre, esa entrañable y aterradora figura que muchos tuvimos y que algún día tal vez seremos.

araya giren iki dünya savaşı, değişen toplumsal ihtiyaçlar, bakkalların yerini alan süpermarketler, toprak zeminli müstakil evlerin yerini alan toplu konutlar… 70 sayfada daha ne anlatılabilir bilmiyorum. In the above paragraph, I sense her emotions of separation, the feeling of her father as unknowable, the sense of a lack of connection between them. She is an emblematic daughter of emblematic French parents, part of an inevitable historical process, which includes breaking away. The first half of the book has a downright naturalistic slant: the hard work, the austerity of life, the impossibility to enjoy.Un pueblo donde los vecinos vigilaban la blancura y el estado de la ropa tendida a secar, y sabían si se vaciaban los orinales todos los días.

His greatest satisfaction, possibly even the raison d’être of his existence, was the fact that I belonged to the world which had scorned him. At times it gets difficult to dig up old forgotten memories so we invent them, the book lies somewhere there. I don't know whether the author was actually confused about her love towards her father due to the grief associated with her father's death or whether the central idea was lost in translation. Apetecia-me falar, escrever acerca de meu pai, da sua vida e da distância que surgira entre ele e eu durante a adolescência. A small gem of a work, and I deeply appreciate the work of Ernaux being so crisp, small in size but high in impact.

I kept thinking about this scene while I was walking to the bus stop, with anger and something resembling shame. Sparse observations on the impact of class and generational differences on how close one can be with a parent. The next time I feel like whining about my lot in life I think I’ll just grab this book and read a few pages and that will set me straight. So this is a book about class, an “ordinary” lived life, not a biography, exactly, as it is about 100 pages.

in a humorous tone, it connects to shame and inadequacy felt by her father due to his humble working class background wherein he is doomed to a life of solitude and distrust; the shame that also binds him to his social settings and prevent him to move along with the flow time and evolution. Aware of the influence she holds in making this portrait public, she imposes rules upon her writing, rules she has followed for much of her life: “No lyrical reminiscences, no triumphant displays of irony. This euphemism, carried over from the French misère, binds suffering and manhood, linking to the shame and constant feeling of inadequacy held by Ernaux’s father on account of his working-class background. For fifteen minutes he showered me with criticism, praise and advice, and I barely listened, wondering if all this meant I had passed. Por outro lado, Annie teve uma ascensão social por ter tido a oportunidade de uma boa educação e de ingressar na Universidade.The author reveals a cold observation of a sort of demureness, a sense of shame which haunts her father throughout his life, the place of language, a mannerism which though does not come naturally to him but he held them in high esteem despite his limitations due to his background.
