The McGill Paris Book Club is happy to announce its next meeting (online) on Thursday, November 24 at 8:30-10:30 p.m. CEST to discuss Annie Ernaux' magnum opus, Les Années - also available in English, The Years. 

Annie Ernaux (née Duchesne; born September 1, 1940), is a French writer and professor of literature. Her literary work, mostly autobiographical, maintains close links with sociology. Ernaux was awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the courage and clinical acuity with which she uncovers the roots, estrangements, and collective restraints of personal memory."

Her 2008 historical memoir, Les Années (The Years), is considered by many to be her magnum opus. In this book, Ernaux writes about herself in the third person ('elle', or 'she' in English) for the first time, providing a vivid look at French society just after the Second World War until the early 2000s. It is the story of a woman and of the evolving society she lived in.

Nous vous convions pour une session en ligne sur zoom, le jeudi 24 novembre de 20h30 à 22h30

A bientôt !
