Simple passion

Passion simple

----Editor's Recommendation-----
* Representative works by Anne Erno, winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature
* An anti-emotional work analyzing universal passions
* Using a subjective perspective transformed into a completely objective one, writing about the inner world of a person suffering from the futility of separation and loneliness
----Media Recommendation----
Erno "exposes with courage and clinical acumen the roots, barriers, and collective constraints of individual memory," and she "consistently examines from diverse perspectives the profound disparities in life along gender, language, and class lines."
——Anne Erno, a member of the Swedish Academy's Nobel Prize in Literature jury, is the queen of new autobiographical literature. ——Times Magazine
Erno's success lies in cherishing ordinary emotions while elevating ordinary expressions of emotion... It is a monument to a passion that defies simple explanation. - The New York Times
A work of lyrical precision and diamond-clear clarity. —The New Yorker
The pain and anxiety of waiting, the brief soul-to-soul contact after lovemaking, the drowsiness and exhaustion that follow, the rekindling of desire, the petty insults and contempt of infatuation and abandonment—all of this Erno tells with a calm, cold attitude that makes one feel firmly and authentically himself. —The Washington Post
In this book, Anne Erno describes a love affair that ended without a result, and the protagonist is not free. Every paragraph, every word, brings the reader closer to the purest desire... - The Observer
Like Ernaux's other works, "A Simple Passion" is fascinating because of the interaction between the individual self-image of the material and the documentary, non-utilitarian, almost selfless form of expression. - "New Statesman"
----Introduction-----
Anne Erno, in her spare, unvarnished style, chronicles the lust and humiliation of a heart consumed by passion. Blurring the lines between fact and fiction, she attempts to depict the emotional and physical journey of her two-year relationship with a married man. Every word, every event, every person either connects to her lover or remains indifferent to him. With courage and precision, Erno seeks the truth behind a time spent entirely devoted to others.
