Book Synopsis



GANADORA DEL PREMIO NOBEL DE LITERATURA 2022

Cuando nos salimos del camino marcado, las distancias con quienes nos rodean a veces son insuperables.

En abril de 1967, la autora y protagonista, por entonces joven aspirante a profesora de secundaria, supera el examen de capacitación en un liceo de Lyon para orgullo (y recelo) de su padre, antiguo obrero que, procedente del medio rural y tras trabajar duramente, ha acabado convertido en propietario de un pequeño comercio en las provincias. Para él, eso significa otro paso adelante en su difícil ascenso social; sin embargo, poco le dura esta satisfacción, ya que fallece dos meses después. Padre e hija han traspasado sus respectivos «lugares» dentro de la sociedad. Pero se han mirado entre sí con suspicacia, y la distancia entre ambos ha ido tornándose cada vez más dolorosa. Aquí, Annie Ernaux indaga, pues, no sólo en los complejos y los prejuicios, los usos y las normas de comportamiento de un segmento social de límites difusos, cuyo espejo es la culta y educada burguesía urbana, sino también en la dificultad de habitar un espacio propio dentro de la sociedad.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE

When we stray from the marked path, the distances with those around us sometimes become insurmountable.

In April 1967, the author and protagonist, then a young aspiring high school teacher, passes the qualification exam at a lycée in Lyon, to the pride (and resentment) of her father, a former worker who, coming from a rural background and after working hard, has ended up becoming the owner of a small business in the provinces. For him, this means another step forward in his difficult social ascent; however, this satisfaction is short-lived, as he dies two months later. Father and daughter have crossed their respective "places" within society. But they have looked at each other with suspicion, and the distance between them has become increasingly painful. Here, Annie Ernaux delves not only into the complexes and prejudices, the customs and behavioral norms of a social segment with blurred boundaries, whose mirror is the cultured and educated urban bourgeoisie, but also into the difficulty of inhabiting one's own space within society.
