The Years
Annie Ernaux, Alison L. Strayer (translation)Autobiography is given a new form, at once subjective & impersonal, private & collective, in Annie Ermaux’s genre-bending masterpiece.
Translated by Alison L Strayer.
The Years is a narrative of the period 1941 to 2006 told through the lens of memory, impressions past & present, photos, books, songs, radio, television, advertising, & news headlines. Local dialect, words of the times, slogans, brands & names for ever-proliferating objects are given voice. The author’s voice continually dissolves & re-emerges as Ernaux makes the passage of time palpable. Time itself, inexorable, narrates its own course, consigning all other narrators to anonymity.
Though Ernaux had for years been hailed as a beloved, bestselling & award-winning author, The Years was in many ways a departure: both an intimate memoir "written" by entire generations, & a story of generations telling a very personal story.
"The Years is an earnest, fearless book, a Remembrance of Things Past for our age of media domination & consumerism, for our period of absolute commodity fetishism." — Edmund White, The New York Times Book Review
