Culture · Sunday, November 1 · 18:50 · Le Palais
Passage de l'Hôtel de Ville
A major figure in contemporary literature and the first French woman to win the Nobel, Annie Ernaux embodies for many personal and collective emancipation, blending the intimate with the universal. Claire Simon offers her a reimagined portrait by giving voice to students, from all corners of France, from Cayenne to Sarcelles. How does today’s youth, here and there, take ownership of Annie Ernaux’s writings? What does this youth have to tell us in return from its own lived experiences?
