«Memoria de chica» is Annie Ernaux's autobiographical account, published by Editorial Cabaret Voltaire in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
Annie Ernaux returns to the summer of 1958, when in the colony of S., in the Orne, she spent her first night with a man; an experience that would mark her for years. Through photographs and letters from that time she tries to reconstruct that episode and seeks out her old friends and the young woman she was, in a dialogue between the Annie of 1958 and the present one.
Translation by Lydia Vázquez Jiménez of the French original «Mémoire de fille». Annie Ernaux received the Formentor Prize in 2019 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2022.
For readers of contemporary literature, works about women and autobiographical writing, as well as for those who want to approach Annie Ernaux.
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.
