Shame by Annie Ernaux

Shame by Annie Ernaux

WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE

My father tried to kill my mother one Sunday in June, in the early afternoon, begins Shame, the probing story of the 12 year old girl who will become the author herself, and the single traumatic memory that will echo and resonate throughout her life.

With the emotionally rich voice of great fiction and the diamond-sharp analytical eye of a scientist, Annie Ernaux provides a powerful reflection on experience and the power of violent memory to endure through time, to determine the course of a life.

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.
