WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE Annie Ernaux\'s most recent book, dazzling and breathtaking, published in France in 2022, is about her affair with a man 30 years her junior.
It was first published in France in 2022..
The Young Man recalls Ernaux as the scandalous girl she once was, but is composed with the mastery and the self-assurance she has achieved across decades of writing.
Amidst talk of having a child together, she feels time running its course, and menopause approaching.
The relationship pulls her back to memories of her own youth and at the same time leaves her feeling ageless, outside of time-- together with a sense that she is living her life backwards. --Caroline Montpetit in Le Devoir The Young Man is Annie Ernaux\'s account of her passionate love affair with A., a man some 30 years younger, when she was in her fifties.
These fragments of living, however evanescent, are precious, irreplaceable, like a skin that never fades. --Olivia de Lamberterie, Elle Once again the work of the writer Annie Ernaux appears as both a rigorous study of life and an experiment.
A sublime book.
