pickShort read, but very interesting.
Definitely offers food for thoughts.
I read it for my French book club, and it led to a very engaging conversation.
As all autobiographical works, it's impossible to judge how a person feels or felt about their own experiences, but it's always nice to get someone's glimpse on a specific place and time.

Maybe I should enforce a bookbuying ban again🙊 anyway, here are my latest purchases 😍
pickAnnie Erneaux is a beautiful writer. I started this the day before she won the Nobel. The English title is A Man's Place. It's autobiographical about her father, written in the early 1980s.

Had a strong immune response to the newest omicron booster vaccine; but a day and a half down meant i read 3 unplanned titles. The employees (digital), Disgrace (print), and A man‘s place (audio). I had meant to see if I could reserve something by this author after the Nobel announcement because I was unfamiliar with her work and the prize description was intriguing. Most titles have holds of course, but this s short title was avail on audio.
pickThe Norwegian publisher has collected two of Ernaux‘s stories into one book.
The first story is about her father, his childhood and adult life. The second story is about her mother, her childhood and adult life. In telling her parents stories she tells the story of France in the 20th century, the relationship between children and parents, about class and upward mobility.
