Collection: Author of the Month

We are delighted to welcome, in the month of her 80th birthday, French novelist, memoirist and essayist Annie Ernaux as our Author of the Month for September.

Following experiments in autobiographical fiction, she turned early in her career to memoir with a mesmerising series of reflections and meditations on memory, loss, grief and love. Of her most famous book the novelist John Banville writes ‘The Years is a revolution, not only in the art of autobiography but in art itself. Annie Ernaux’s book blends memories, dreams, facts and meditations into a unique evocation of the times in which we lived, and live.’
