«Erinnerung eines Mädchens» is Annie Ernaux's autobiographical memoir, published by Suhrkamp Verlag in paperback (163 pages, in German).
In the summer of 1958, eighteen-year-old Annie Duchesne is a camp counsellor in Normandy. Her first night with a man, his indifference and the group's humiliation leave a wound that the author takes more than 50 years to confront; Ernaux reconstructs memory and explores shame, sexual awakening and identity.
German translation by Sonja Finck of the French original «Mémoire de fille» (2016); edition with the mention «Nobelpreis für Literatur 2022» (Suhrkamp Taschenbuch 5022).
Will appeal to readers of memoirs and contemporary French literature, as well as those who follow Annie Ernaux's work.
