Description
A close analysis of the Nobel Prize winner’s masterpiece, the lecture delves deep into Ernaux’s prose, structure, use of popular culture and broad span. Kimberly explains why she thinks the Prize committee was apt in recognizing Ernaux’s “clinical acuity”–a term that doesn’t sound all that amazing, but really is. Listen in as Kimberly reveals how she decided to skim over some of the more abstruse French cultural references–but then COULDN’T! Because this prose is SO GOOD.
