Her setting was poor but ambitious, with parents who had pulledthemselves up from proletarian survival to a bourgeois life, where the memories of beaten earth floors never disappeared but where politics was seldom broached. In her writing,Ernauxconsistently and from different angles, examines a life marked by strongdisparities regarding gender,languageand class.Her path to authorship was long and arduous.

Her lover’s native language is not French so his French is imperfect. “…I was able to appreciate the approximate quality of our conversations. From the very beginning, and throughout the whole of our affair, I had the privilege of knowing what we all find out in the end: the man we love is a complete stranger.”Annie Ernaux".

But even in her vigours approach to the topic, Ernaux comes to an understanding of the clear separation between a real person and an image of obsession. The object of fixation really ever existed only in her mind, and the point is not the man but the parts of self she was able to explore through him, and that is why Ernaux is never destroyed by the flames of her passion, as many of lustful lovers in works of literature before her, such as in Tunnel or Belle du Seigneur, because she can ultimately differentiate between the real man and numinous object that made her reach the height of desire, which makes her able to let go and mourn the loss of her lover in real life without the destructive disintegration. The lover image in our mind is often no more than a mere illusion than ultimately collapses in the face of reality - the person is made of flesh and flaws, but the experience itself has transpersonal ecstatic qualities, ones that go beyond the reality itself in the cycle of annihilation and creation.

The famously private Ferrante does not call her work autofiction but tacitly admits that the friendship between Lila and Lenu, the protagonists of her Neapolitan novels, is based on an intense childhood friendship of her own. Like Ernaux, one of Ferrante’s chief concerns is history with a capital H: she places the grinding poverty, misogyny and organised crime of the era centre stage. Getting Lost/ translated by Alison L.
