L'événement

🌞The original work of the film "Happening", which won the Venice Film Festival's highest award "Golden Lion Award" 🌞2022 Nobel Prize in Literature and "Irish Times" Best Book of the Year 🌞, records an "event" that can never be returned to the previous life.
🌞"I want to write about the evil that women have suffered. I want to write about it to remember the violence against millions of girls and women, even if it means offending the sensibilities of my readers."
- --Introduction----
In 1963, 23-year-old, unmarried Anne Erno discovered she was pregnant. Overwhelmed by shame, she understood that her unwanted pregnancy would make her and her family social failures, and she knew she couldn't keep the child. Forty years later, Erno wrote this story, recounting the trauma she never overcame. In France, where abortion was criminalized at the time, she attempted to perform the procedure herself using knitting needles, but to no avail. In her fear and despair, she finally sought out an underground doctor, only to be rushed to a hospital emergency room, where she nearly died.
In The Event, Erno combs through her memories, clearly and accurately unearthing the social significance of this particular experience as a woman.
----Media Praise----
Universal, raw, and courageous, The Incident is a work of fierce dislocation and profound meaning; as much a work of human experience as it is a work of art. It should be required reading.
—Financial Times
The Event is gripping and unavoidably painful, like a thriller. In Anne Elnor's solitude, I felt a closeness to her that I rarely feel in other books. Women will be grateful for Elnor's wit, simplicity, and commitment to both death and life.
Daisy Hildyard Elnor's work is a search for truth. It's not a recounting of the truth, but rather "an effort to re-examine each image." Elnor's work is significant not only for its subject matter but also for the way it approaches it: subtle contradictions; her calm compromises, punctuated by violence; her detailed narratives, interspersed with fragmented text.
—The Irish Times
Ernaux’s work meticulously documents desire, shame, class anxiety, and emotional anguish, pulling no punches in detail and relentlessly in tone. Her shock tactics feel principled, driven less by narcissism or a need for self-justification than by some nobler impulse: a desire to capture the past as it truly was, uninterrupted by misplaced memories, moral judgments, or decorative literary embellishments.
—The New York Times Book Review
An important and resonant work.
