GANADORA DEL PREMIO NOBEL DE LITERATURA 2022
Una escena familiar, y sus consecuencias perturbadoras, diseccionadas por la autora que ha hecho de su vida materia literaria
En 1952, cuando Annie Ernaux tenía doce años, su padre quiso matar a su madre un domingo de junio, a primera hora de la tarde. Años después, esa escena se le presenta a la autora tan diáfanamente cruel como el día en que la vivió. Como en tantas otras familias, sus padres, que se odian entre sí, adoran en cambio a la niña, por lo que, mientras pasan los días y el olvido invade el hogar, el recuerdo de aquel domingo parece convertirse en un mal sueño. Sin embargo, esa escena cambió para siempre a la autora: aquella niña y su familia «habían dejado de ser gente decente», y todo había pasado a ser vergonzoso.
Annie Ernaux recorre desde los códigos de conducta y las normas sociales que imperaban en su entorno hasta las noticias del momento, las expresiones más usadas o el temor que infundían las grandes ciudades para calibrar con exactitud hasta qué punto lo ocurrido la hizo sentirse indigna.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE
A family scene, and its disturbing consequences, dissected by the author who has made her life into literary material
In 1952, when Annie Ernaux was twelve years old, her father tried to kill her mother one Sunday in June, early in the afternoon. Years later, that scene appears to the author as cruelly clear as the day she lived it. Like in so many other families, her parents, who hate each other, instead adore the child, so as the days pass and forgetfulness invades the home, the memory of that Sunday seems to become a bad dream. However, that scene changed the author forever: that girl and her family "had ceased to be decent people," and everything had become shameful.
Annie Ernaux examines everything from the codes of conduct and social norms that prevailed in her environment to the news of the time, the most commonly used expressions, or the fear that big cities instilled, to accurately gauge to what extent what happened made her feel unworthy.
