Book club with Elsa Petit-Hassan around Annie Ernaux’s novel “La place,” winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature, published by Gallimard in 1983.

6 December 2022 - 17:30 - 19:00

“La place” is an autobiographical novel published in 1983 and was awarded the Renaudot prize in 1984.

Annie Ernaux writes “La place” after her father’s passing. Through her memories, she retraces the life of this man, a worker turned barkeeper, who had conquered his “place” in society. In a streamlined and modest writing style, she unveils the painful distance that her studies and marriage have instated between her and her father, and pays a vibrant tribute to her parents.
