Happening by Annie Ernaux
REVIEWS
"Universal, primeval and courageous, Happening is a fiercely dislocating, profoundly relevant work - as much of art as of human experience. It should be compulsory reading."- Catherine Taylor, Financial Times
"Ernaux's work is an attempt at truth. Not a narrative bend on truth, but an "endeavour to revisit every single image". ... Ernaux's work is important. Not just because of her subject matter, but because of the way she hands it over: the subtle contradictions; her dispassionate stoicism, mixed with savagery; her detailed telling, mixed with spare, fragmented text.'- Niamh Donnelly, Irish Times 'Happening is gripping and painfully inevitable to read - like a thriller. I felt close to Annie Duchesne, in her alone-ness, in a way I've rarely felt close to a character in a book. Women will be grateful to Ernaux for her wisdom, concision, and commitment to writing about death and life." -Daisy Hildyard, author of The Second Body
