The latest from the winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature.

In these brief pages, Annie Ernaux delivers a first-person account of her relationship with a young man thirty years her junior. An experience that, for a few months, turned her back into the "scandalous girl" she had once been. A voyage through time that helped her through a critical phase in her writing. This is a key text in Annie Ernaux's body of work, concerning her relationship with time and writing.
