Reading Nobel Laureate Annie Ernaux
with Professor Cathy Yandell
November 5, 12, & 19
3:00 to 5:00 p.m.
You are invited to join Cathy Yandell's
3-meeting course on the recent French Nobel Laureate Annie Ernaux. She would love to have Carls in the class!
Annie Ernaux, the first Frenchwoman to win the Nobel Prize for literature, was praised by the selection committee in 2022 "for the courage and clinical acuity with which she uncovers the roots, estrangements and collective restraints of personal memory." Brilliantly intertwining personal memoir and cultural history, Ernaux’s writing captures the spirit of her time. Cathy Yandell invites you to join her in lively close readings of A Man’s Place, The Young Man, and The Years, the latter considered Ernaux’s magnum opus as it traces a rapidly evolving French society from the end of World War II to the beginning of the twenty-first century.
