«L'evento» is Annie Ernaux's autobiographical account, published by L'orma Editore in paperback (113 pages, in Italian).
In October 1963, a twenty-three-year-old student seeks clandestine ways to have an abortion in a France where the practice is illegal and barely has a name. Ernaux reconstructs the medical ambiguities, male fascination, the closeness of some female friends, and the encounter with a midwife.
