The Possession
The Possession | Annie Ernaux
3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Self-regard, in the works of Annie Ernaux, is always an excruciatingly painful and exact process. Here, she revisits the peculiar kind of self-fulfillment possible when we examine ourselves in the aftermath of a love affair, and sometimes, even, through the eyes of the lost beloved.

Pickpick

Short and concise, just like everything else by Ernaux. She does really hang on to certain themes, but it's always so well written that it hardly matters

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled I love getting book recs from you - I would never have discovered this on my own! Now to look for a translation! 8y

Elena Ferrante should take a class in obsession and despair from Annie Ernaux. Where Ferrante accomplishes nothing but annoying complaining Ernaux creates poetry!

I-read-and-eat I should brush up my french so many great sentences getting lost in translation. 8y

First French book for November! Ernaux is one of my favorites, so my expectations are high and I'll most likely be disappointed.

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled What's it about? That cover is giving me the willies. 8y
tricours @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled.com Nothing spooky at all! It's about romantic obsession and jealousy. 8y
