«Je ne suis pas sortie de ma nuit» is Annie Ernaux's intimate diary about her mother, published by Gallimard Education in paperback (115 pages, in French).
After visits to her mother, ill with Alzheimer's and in a care home, Annie Ernaux notes the deterioration of her body and her words and the feeling of losing her. Those notes become a diary of decline that culminates in her mother's death in 1986, and a reflection on memory, identity and grief.
In the Folio collection it is number 3155; the 1999 paperback edition has 115 pages.
For readers of autobiographical narrative and contemporary French literature.
Annie Thérèse Blanche Ernaux is a French writer who 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 literary work, mostly autobiographical, maintains close links with sociology.
