Book description
Annie Ernaux and Marc Marie met in January 2003 and became lovers almost immediately. A short time later, he accompanied her to the Institut Curie, where she was having surgery for breast cancer. A deep bond formed between Annie and Marc precisely during this time of great uncertainty within Ernaux as to whether she would live or die from the cancer. Early in their affair, Ernaux found herself entranced each morning by the sight of clothes strewn about, chairs out of place, and the remains of their last meal of the evening before still on the table. The two lovers began to take still life photographs, and to write. Their efforts to save the fleeting beauty of these moments were, as Ernaux would describe later in an interview, "material proof of what had happened there, of love." The Use of Photography is a defining work in Ernaux's career, leading directly to the book that would come next, her masterpiece, The Years.Review"The tangles of clothing and shoes serve as a form of divination of life and nothingness, light and dark. This is an intimate, beautiful, and evocative pairing of image and word, voice and viewpoint, love and ritual." -Donna Seaman "This is my favorite book by Annie Ernaux. An overwhelming story about love, death, desire and illness. Everything is extraordinary here, unforgettable. We do not come out of this very intimate text unscathed."-Abdellah Taia "Ernaux's books aren't beautiful, suspenseful, or psychedelic. Their pleasure is cerebral, self-reflexive-and grossly invested in watching a mind tear itself apart, only to survey its pieces from an emotionless distance." -Alina StefanescuAbout the AuthorThe author of some twenty works of fiction and memoir, ANNIE ERNAUX is considered by many to be France's most important writer. In 2022, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. She has also won the Prix Renaudot for A Man's Place and the Marguerite Yourcenar Prize for her body of work. More recently she received the International Strega Prize, the Prix Formentor, the French-American Translation Prize, and the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation for The Years, which was also shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize. Her other works include Exteriors, A Girl's Story, A Woman's Story, The Possession, Simple Passion, Happening, I Remain in Darkness, Shame, A Frozen Woman, A Man's Place, and The Young Man.
