Summary

Thirteen books written by 2022 Nobel Laureate Annie Ernaux published by Seven Stories Press.

"The harrowing beauty and brevity of these books and their apparent simplicity disguise somewhat the punishing cost of their honesty." —Rachel Cusk, New York Times Magazine

Winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature, Annie Ernaux is considered one of Europe’s most important contemporary writers. She has expanded the very meaning of literature and has asserted her feminism and class consciousness in the stories she tells.

Spanning Annie Ernaux’s English language oeuvre from 1991–2023, this collection of all thirteen titles published by Seven Stories attests to Ernaux’s range, depth, and enduring literary presence. Includes translations by Linda Coverdale, Tanya Leslie, Anna Moschovakis, and Alison L. Strayer.
