A Simple Passion by Annie Ernaux
A New York Times Notable Book and France's #1 best-seller for eight months - with more than 400,000 copies sold - A Simple Passion documents the desires and indignities of a human heart ensnared in an all-consuming passion. As the narrator attempts to plot the emotional and physical course of her two-year relationship with a married foreigner, where every word, event and person either provides a connection with her beloved or is subject to cold indifference, she seeks the truth behind an existence lived for someone else, and in its aftermath, she finds it.
Annie Ernaux was born in 1940 in Lillebonne, France. Her autobiographical narrative, La Place, won the Prix Renaudot, and her books, A Woman's Story and A Man's Place, were named New York Times Notable Books of the Year. Ernaux's most recent novel, Les Annü¾Ž–”¼es, is widely considered one of her greatest works. Jonathan Kaplansky has translated numerous works, including Hü¾Ž–”¼lü¾Ž†”¼ne Dorion's novel Days of Sand and Hü¾Ž–”¼lü¾Ž†”¼ne Rioux's novel Wednesday Night at the End of the World. Brian Evenson is a professor and director of the Literary Arts Program at Brown University. He is the author of Altmann's Tongue (available in a Bison Books edition) and, most recently, Last Days and Fugue State.
