A book written by an author about her father after his death will always be an emotional one. But this book is something different as it belongs to the category of therapeutic writing. Ernaux also talks about this therapeutic writing beautifully in her other book, A Woman's Story. Castro, Jan Garden (27 August 1995). "Pitfalls, Trials Of Womanhood". St. Louis Post-Dispatch. p.5C.

The Academy praised “her for the courage and clinical acuity with which she uncovers the roots, estrangements and collective restraints of personal memory.” Also I must note memoirs have never been my thing. and this one was no exception. But at least Ernaux’s are very short. Some interesting quotes here and there, but nothing memorable that will truly stay, at least for me. 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. Desde la niñez hasta la vejez, tratando de encontrar un lugar en una sociedad a la que pertenece y no. Y en el proceso, dividiéndolo en pedazos, descubrimos todo lo que lo hizo ser, partes de padres que tal vez reconozcamos, en los nuestros. Ma qui, nelle pagine di Annie Ermeaux, siamo ben oltre la vergogna: la figlia sente di far parte di un altro mondo e un’altra epoca, che non ha più nulla da spartire con il medioevo del padre. An affecting portrait of a man whose own peasant upbringing typified the adage that a child should never be better educated than his parents.’Los Angeles Times Book Prize – Fiction Winner and Nominees".

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. The skeleton of the book takes over and ideas seem to develop of their own accord. If on the other hand I indulge in personal reminiscence, I remember him as he was, with his way of laughing and walking, taking me by the hand to the funfair. . . I liked it, thought it felt quite familiar to me, almost as if I had written it myself about my own father, who was born in 1913 and died at the age of 76, close to twenty years ago, on the operating table, in heart by-pass surgery. That was the single worst moment of my life, having the surgeon report to us the news. I thought my own heart would literally burst from grief as I heard from the surgeon this news. I was close to him, in a non-verbal way. I was the fifth of six children, loved him very much, though I was quietly somewhat ashamed he was so much older than my friends' fathers, and uneducated as I myself went to school.

bizde sınıfsal farklar hiç bu denli yoğun olmadığı, osmanlı saray çevresini dışarda bırakırsak, çoğumuz reaya köylüler olduğumuz için şanslıyız belki de. belki de değiliz çünkü fransız edebiyatını en çok besleyen konu bu. şu an kararsız kaldım.

They were convinced that being well-read and well-mannered were marks of an inner excellence that was innate. 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.Elkin, Lauren (26 October 2018).
