Description
WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE
One of Annie Ernaux's most exciting and idiosyncratic works is now in paperback for the first time.
In this novel, which takes the form of journal entries made over the course of seven years, Annie Ernaux concentrates on the ephemeral encounters that take place just on the periphery of a person's lived environment. She captures the feeling of contemporary living on the outskirts of a great city—tortured, chaotic, lyrical, and powerfully alive. Exteriors is in many ways the most ecstatic of Ernaux's books—the first in which she appears largely free of the haunting personal relationships she has written about so powerfully elsewhere, and the first in which she is able to leave the past behind her.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Annie Ernaux's Exteriors has received praise for its honest and genuine execution, skillfully merging art with confession. Reviewers note how Ernaux navigates between commitment and desire, offering insights into an outside world without scorn or pity. Her writing is seen as both introspective and provocative.
