The Years Author
by Annie Ernaux
Moderator: Maria 
“The Years,” written by Annie Ernaux and translated by Alison L. Strayer, represents a sweeping memoir spanning from 1941 to 2006. This book is not merely a personal story; it embodies the collective narrative of an entire generation in France. Ernaux intertwines her own experiences with significant historical markers, creating layers of consciousness that unfurl over six decades. Through an experimental style of writing, Ernaux removes the first-person singular “I,” opting for a vivid portrayal of shared memory through “we” and “they.” This deliberate choice places her personal story within the broader context of societal changes, shedding light on both intimate personal experiences and the movement of history itself.
