Writing is a knife

L'Écriture comme un couteau

---Editor's Recommendation---
* Sincerely revealing personal experiences and the formation of literary style
* This book, a primer on Nobel Prize winners, lacks the emotional impact and romance expected of female writers. My book was once accused of being "obscene." This contempt and insult only served to strengthen me.
-Anne Erno I like sentences that don't lie. Erno's sentences cut through the flesh, peel off the skin, and are as sharp as a knife.
—Frederic-Yves Jeunet
---Brief Introduction---
“I put something hard, heavy, even violent into literature. They are related to life circumstances, to the language of the world I lived in before I was eighteen, to the world of workers and farmers. They are always real things. I think that in my situation, as a class-crosser, writing is the best thing I can do, a political act, and a gift.”
For nearly a year, writer Frédéric-Yves Genet posed questions to Anne Ernault. In these responses, the author strives to explain her writing practice, which began thirty years ago, describing her working methods and explaining the "purpose" of her texts. This book is highly worth reading and moving because it rejects fiction and engages with a rigorous, progressive approach to lived experience. It helps the general reader understand Ernault's personal experiences and writing style, and is also an important reference for literary researchers.
