I leaned against the beauty of the world / And I held the smell of the seasons in my hands

Anna de Noailles, as quoted in Les Années (The Years) by Annie Ernaux

And deep down, hidden away as indecent, the desire for a pleasure I've discovered on my own.

Hi, I know I haven’t been here in ages! But I wanted to come back and tell you guys I finally picked up Annie Ernaux. I have devoured this and am now desperate to read Simple Passion immediately. I talk a bit about it in my first newsletter that I will discuss more later. In the mean time - how is everyone? Who else loves Annie Ernaux?

I feel I'm better off in hiding. Convinced that this attitude will carry me through, I protect myself from within, with a solid dark core of wickedness and desires.

23/04/2024 | I had an awesome day today. I woke up early and studied Russian for 4 hours and then I went to a friend’s house to play some card games. Today is Sant Jordi (my favorite day of the year) and where I live we gift people we love books and roses. I treated myself to two books (Notes on Nationalism and La place), my friend gave me El gremio de los magos, and both he and my brother brought me roses.

Who could say that love, pain and mourning, shame, are not universal? Victor Hugo wrote: ‘Not one of us has the honour of living a life that is only his own.’ But as all things are lived inexorably in the individual mode – ‘it is to me this is happening’ – they can only be read in the same way if the ‘I’ of the book becomes transparent, in a sense, and the ‘I’ of the reader comes to occupy it. If this ‘I’, to put it another way, becomes transpersonal.

Annie Ernaux, from her Nobel Prize Lecture, translated by Alison L. Strayer
