Writing, the Other Life

WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE

A sensational celebration of Annie Ernaux's work—featuring collected writing by critics, journalists, and 24 previously unpublished pieces by the Nobel Prize winner herself—offering a full view of the author's life, writing style, reception by readers, and her thoughts and influence.

For fans new to Annie Ernaux as well as longtime readers comes this collection of interviews, critical analysis, and diary excerpts.

Magisterial in scope and size, Annie Ernaux: Writing, The Other Life was compiled and edited by Pierre-Louis Fort and was first published in France by Éditions de L'Herne in 2022, a few months before she received the Nobel Prize in Literature. The anthology includes twenty-four previously unpublished Ernaux pieces, as well as literary criticism, essays, interviews, diary entries, letters, and more.

Never before published in English, this extensive collection is the fruit of collaboration between six celebrated translators and a groundbreaking work of scholarship and rumination.
