Date/time/venue TBC. This reading group will discuss the astonishing life-writings of Annie Ernaux, awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2022 ‘for the courage and clinical acuity with which she uncovers the roots, estrangements and collective restraints of personal memory.’ We’ll read Happening, as L’Événement was recently translated from the French by Tanya Leslie. To be followed by a screening of the film adaptation, directed by Audrey Diwan, from 5pm, for those able to stay on.
