In 1963, Annie Ernaux, 23 and unattached, realizes she is pregnant. Shame arises in her like a plague: Understanding that her pregnancy will mark her and her family as social failures, she knows she cannot keep the child.

« J'ai toujours eu envie d'écrire des livres dont il me soit ensuite impossible de parler, qui rendent le regard d'autrui insoutenable. Mais quelle honte pourrait m'apporter l'écriture d'un livre qui soit à la hauteur de ce que j'ai éprouvé dans ma douzième année. » Annie Ernaux. Noémie Lvovsky s'empare avec justesse de ce texte fort et fondamental de l'œuvre d'Annie Ernaux.

Come accade che il tempo che abbiamo vissuto diviene la nostra vita? È questo il nodo affrontato da "Gli anni", affresco autobiografico e al contempo cronaca collettiva del nostro mondo dal dopoguerra a oggi, nodo sciolto in un canto indissolubile attraverso la magistrale fusione della voce individuale con il coro della Storia. Annie Ernaux convoca la Liberazione, l’Algeria, la maternità, de Gaulle, il ’68, l’emancipazione femminile, Mitterrand; e ancora l’avanzata della merce, le tentazioni del conformismo, l’avvento di internet, l’undici settembre, la riscoperta del desiderio.

After hours of struggling with a hooked stingray, Enero aims his revolver into the water and shoots it.
