0 reviewsAutobiography 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 Annie 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
