STORYLINE:
French author Annie Ernaux was awarded this year's Nobel Prize in literature for "the courage and clinical acuity with which she uncovers the roots, estrangements and collective restraints of personal memory,” the Swedish Academy said Thursday.
Ernaux, 82, started out writing autobiographical novels, but quickly abandoned fiction in favour of memoirs.
Her more than 20 books, most of them very short, chronicle events in her life and the lives of those around her.
They present uncompromising portraits of sexual encounters, abortion, illness and the deaths of her parents.
Her most critically acclaimed book was “The Years” (Les annees), published in 2008 and describing herself and wider French society from the end of World War II to the present day.
Unlike in previous books, in “The Years,” Ernaux writes about herself in the third person, calling her character “she” rather than “I”.
The book received numerous awards and honors.
