WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE
A New York Times Notable Book
Annie Ernaux's father died exactly two months after she passed her practical examination for a teaching certificate. Barely educated and valued since childhood strictly for his labor, Ernaux's father had grown into a hard, practical man who showed his family little affection.
Narrating his slow ascent towards material comfort, Ernaux's cold observation reveals the shame that haunted her father throughout his life. She scrutinizes the importance he attributed to manners and language that came so unnaturally to him as he struggled to provide for his family with a grocery store and cafe in rural France.
Over the course of the book, Ernaux grows up to become the uncompromising observer now familiar to the world, while her father matures into old age with a staid appreciation for life as it is and for a daughter he cautiously, even reluctantly admires. A Man's Place is the companion book to her critically acclaimed memoir about her mother, A Woman's Story.

To read Annie Ernaux is to be transformed. It's an extraordinary encounter that opens you to new ways of feeling, of seeing, of understanding life, with a depth and intensity I rarely find in other writers. This Nobel laureate doesn't rely on stylistic flourishes to captivate; her power lies in the raw emotional truth of her words. For me, a book that fails to stir the soul is a failure, and Ernaux’s writing is the very opposite. Each page is a catalyst, prompting introspection and demanding that I pause to fully appreciate the emotional resonance of her prose. Her words have the power to move you deeply. I believe it would be a great disservice to oneself to remain unfamiliar with Annie Ernaux’s work. Within these often brief narratives lies a wealth of beautiful language and profound insight. I urge anyone who seeks out meaningful literary experiences to embrace her writing. I could continue at length, but I’ll simply offer my heartfelt congratulations to anyone who embarks on a journey through an Ernaux novel and discovers the profound impact her words can have.
