The Years
by Annie Ernaux
tr. Alison L. Strayer
 
Considered by many to be the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate’s defining work, The Years is a monumental account of twentieth-century French history as refracted through the life of one woman, a book that invents a genre – the collective autobiography – to capture the passing of time.
