In the final pages of A Man’s Place – which won the Prix Renaudot when it was published in 1983 and is now available in a new edition of Tanya Leslie’s 1992 English translation – Ernaux explains that it has taken her a long time to finish this narrative: “I find it is far more difficult to dig up forgotten memories than it is to invent them. Thực sự thì tôi đã đọc cuốn tiểu thuyết mỏng này cách đây 6 năm, khi nó vừa được xuất bản, một cuốn sách được viết với sự điềm tĩnh đáng ngạc nhiên khi thực ra đây là một cuốn tiểu thuyết bán tự truyện kể về chính cha của tác giả. Il racconto segue curve affettive, le estremità critiche e silenziose della relazione filiale; comunica sottomesso alla trasformazione del tempo, nell'esistere dei soggetti, così dominati. When he “reluctantly” switched from eating soup in the morning to drinking café au lait, he still used a spoon. ernaux ile gerçekten aynı frekansta, ne bileyim, aynı ses dalgası düzeyindeymişiz gibi hissediyorum.

I have been confused with the type of relationship the author had with her father, especially in the initial part of this book. l’incipit de ‘Lo straniero’ di Camus, e mi pare che in qualche modo i due libri si incrocino e incontrino: niente spazio al sentimento, né all’elaborazione, nessuna conclusione: solo descrizione, solo osservazione. The next time I feel like whining about my lot in life I think I’ll just grab this book and read a few pages and that will set me straight.

Annie Ernaux, hija, estudiante, aspirante a escritora y madre, disecciona la personalidad de su padre, esa entrañable y aterradora figura que muchos tuvimos y que algún día tal vez seremos. But still she does it – and it is thrilling to read Ernaux working out, word by word, what she deems appropriate to include in each text. Though it could not be regarded as realism as she chooses sparse, factual prose, perhaps it could be categorized as’ autofiction’.

There is a translucent quality to the way that she colours her mother’s life in the book that is dedicated to her, but her father’s life here is depicted as a packed up, boxed entity.There may be another perspective too, we keep on stacking repositories of memories throughout our life, with older ones getting diminished with time. Un relato bastante corto el cual está destinado básicamente a recordar al padre de la autora, Annie Ernaux (1940), mediante un texto autobiográfico. By choosing to expose the web of his life through a number of selected facts and details, I feel that I am gradually moving away from the figure of my father.
