The Young Man

In her latest work, Annie Ernaux recounts a relationship with a student thirty years her junior – an experience that transforms her, briefly, back into the ‘scandalous girl’ of her youth. At once stark and tender, The Young Man is a taut encapsulation of Ernaux’s relationship to time, memory and writing.

In cea mai recenta lucrare a ei, Annie Ernaux povesteste o relatie cu o studenta cu treizeci de ani mai mica decat ea - o experienta care o transforma, pe scurt, din nou in ,,fata scandaloasa" a tineretii ei. In acelasi timp dur si tandru, Tanarul este o incapsulare incordata a relatiei lui Ernaux cu timpul, memoria si scrisul.
