L'occasion d'un banal examen dans un cabinet m茅dical replonge la narratrice plus de trente ans en arri猫re, en janvier 1964, au moment de son avortement clandestin. Si le souvenir appara卯t lointain, l'茅v茅nement n'en est pas moins ind茅l茅bile. A la fois 茅gar茅e et d茅munie, pendant deux mois, la jeune femme d'alors a cach茅 sa grossesse, 脿 ses parents comme 脿 ses amis proches, cherch茅 d茅sesp茅r茅ment une "faiseuse d'anges". C'est 脿 Paris, rue Cardinet, que la narratrice trouvera l'infirmi猫re clandestine qui lui plongera dans le sexe la sonde n茅cessaire. Et c'est 脿 Rouen, dans sa chambre d'茅tudiante, banale et d茅risoire, en compagnie de sa voisine, qu'elle sera "assise sur le lit, avec le foetus entre les jambes", v茅ritable "sc猫ne de sacrifice". Pour la narratrice, il s'agit "d'entra卯ner l'interlocuteur dans la vision effar茅e du r茅el". R茅cit autobiographique terrifiant et sensible, 脿 valeur d'exorcisme, racont茅 dans la simplicit茅 violente et cruelle des faits, L'脡v茅nement rappelle une soci茅t茅 engonc茅e dans ses principes, ses tabous et ses pr茅jug茅s de classe, en m锚me temps qu'il r茅v猫le un 茅v茅nement v茅cu comme une initiation. --C茅line Darner

Not for me.

France, 1963. Annie Duchesne, university student, 23, suddenly realizes she鈥檚 pregnant. What follows is a desperate quest for a place and someone to perform an abortion, in a country where it鈥檚 illegal, and the chances of infection and other health risks very high. A harrowing little memoir about the dangers of clandestine abortion, in a time when such topic was only whispered with fear and secrecy.

I鈥檓 probably not the right audience for this type of book, I generally dislike memoirs; and I suppose Ernaux is a great author, being the receiver of the 2022 Nobel in Literature; however, I can鈥檛 say I enjoyed this at all. Some good quotes and very powerful paragraphs here and there, but hardly worth it when you have to endure so much rambling and being utterly dull when she tries to convey some supposedly deep insight.

I really tried to sympathize with her situation, but it鈥檚 very hard to like a person when she makes so many merits to greatly dislike her . Points for treading a touchy subject with honesty and moderate grace, and a gruesome depiction of clandestine abortion and after effects; still, far from easy to read, and not recommendable, unless you happen to be very interested in the subject.

*** The movie (2021) is a great adaptation, vastly superior to the book imo. No artificially profound insights, and an Annie not exactly endearing, but most of what made her unlikable gone. Some small and big changes regarding the plot, but nothing that felt out of place, except maybe the shower scenes. Unlike the book, the movie has a lot of heart, you can connect with the character, and share her pain. Some very nice moments, and gruesome ones. Recommendable, maybe very. Forget the book, watch the movie.

-----------------------------------------------

No es para m铆.

Francia, 1963. Annie Duchesne, estudiante universitaria, 23, de repente se da cuenta que est谩 embarazada. Lo que sigue es una desesperada b煤squeda por un lugar y alguien que realice un aborto, en un pa铆s donde es ilegal, y las chances de una infecci贸n y otros riesgos para la salud muy altos. Una estresante peque帽a memoria sobre los peligros del aborto clandestino, en una 茅poca donde ese t贸pico era s贸lo murmurado con miedo y secreto.

Probablemente no soy la audiencia correcta para este tipo de libro, generalmente no me gustan las memorias; y supongo que Ernaux es una gran escritora, siendo receptora del Nobel de Literatura de 2022; sin embargo, no puedo decir que disfrut茅 esto en absoluto. Algunas citas interesantes y p谩rrafos muy poderosos aqu铆 y all谩, pero que dif铆cilmente valen la pena cuando ten茅s que soportarla divagar tanto y siendo extremadamente tediosa cuando intenta transmitir alg煤n pensamiento supuestamente profundo.

Realmente trat茅 de empatizar con su situaci贸n, pero es muy dif铆cil que te agrade una persona cuando hace grandes m茅ritos para ser tremendamente desagradable . Puntos por tratar un tema sensible con honestidad y moderada elegancia, y una horror铆fica representaci贸n del aborto clandestino y sus efectos posteriores; aun as铆, lejos de ser f谩cil de leer, y no recomendable, a no ser que por casualidad te interese mucho el tema.

*** La pel铆cula (2021) es una genial adaptaci贸n, vastamente superior al libro creo. Sin artificialmente profundas declaraciones, y con una Annie no exactamente entra帽able, pero con la mayor parte de lo que la hac铆a desagradable ausente. Algunos peque帽os y grandes cambios con respecto a la trama, pero nada que pareciera fuera de lugar, excepto tal vez las escenas de las duchas. A diferencia del libro, la pel铆cula tiene mucho coraz贸n, es posible conectar con el personaje, y compartir su dolor. Algunos momentos muy lindos, y otros no tanto. Recomendable, tal vez mucho. Olvidate del libro, mir谩 la pel铆cula.

Buen铆simo. Con mucha sencillez cuenta un aborto clandestino que tuvo cuando era estudiante. Es un tema super dif铆cil de tratar, pero es buen铆simo como lo describe, no se corta con nada. Para ser le铆do y discutido, ya que siendo el aborto todav铆a ilegal en tantos pa铆ses de Latinoam茅rica, es algo enmudecido despu茅s de haber sucedido, por lo cual no se puede ni discutir desde el punto de vista de las mujeres. Me hace pensar en toda la gente que est谩 en contra de la despenalizaci贸n del aborto. 驴Creen realmente que pueden controlar el destino de todas las vidas?

"La ley, que casi siempre se considera justa, cae en la paradoja de obligar a antiguas v铆ctimas a callarse porque <>, haciendo que lo que sucedi贸 contin煤e oculto bajo el mismo silencio de entonces".

"He acabado de poner en palabras lo que se me revela como una experiencia humana total de la vida y de la muerte, del tiempo, de la moral, y de lo prohibido, de la ley, una experiencia vivida desde el principio hasta el final a trav茅s del cuerpo."

Memory becomes a literary playground in the works of Nobel Prize winning author Annie Ernaux, who鈥檚 succinct and poetically precise prose 鈥�helps to convey that precise moment when I feel I have bonded with my former life, the one that has gone for ever,鈥� and navigate the reader through intensely tactile experiences of emotions and painful reminiscence. I have been consistently blown away by her openness and insights, and in Happening Ernaux bravely and directly examines her abortion in 1963 when she was a young college student. While Ernaux writes that she had to 鈥�guard against lyrical outbursts such as anger or pain鈥� and removes much of the emotion, the reader is nonetheless threaded along on the emotional currents of fear and socially-induced shame that had undeniably engulfed her during this time. This is a quick read and although it is short in page length at just 93pgs鈥攖ypical for Ernaux鈥攊t looms large in depth and impact: to read Ernaux books is like microdosing emotional devastation and I cannot get enough. Happening is a very heavy book that deals with a highly polarizing subject that, in the US, is once again a very timely subject 20 years after it was written and 60 years after the events within when France still had not legalized women鈥檚 reproductive rights. I am in awe of Ernaux for confronting her memories with such grace and openness, dissecting how the ban in the 60s didn鈥檛 reduce instances and only made them more dangerous as well as created a social stigma that exponentially piled shame and ostracization on already suffering and terrified women as the 鈥�sheer experience of life and death gave way to exposure and judgment.鈥�. Ernaux has once again destroyed me with her words.

鈥�I shall have no more power over my text, exposed to the public just like my body was exposed at the H么tel-Dieu Hospital.鈥�

What always impresses me most with Ernaux is how in her act of writing her memories, be they intended as memoir or thinly disguised as fiction, they reproduce and investigate the social and emotional contexts of the time period in order to better convey the depicted events. Ernaux is also conscious of how the act of writing informs upon ideas of memoir, each book feeling like those clear models of cars that show the engine running within and remind you how each element is consciously tuned and coordinated for the full effect. 鈥�After all, imagining and remembering are the very essence of writing,鈥� she writes and elegantly weds the two. But this is important in a book that is so open and bluntly honest, one she knows will receive as much judgment as the act she recounts and she writes to capture that.
鈥�Above all I wished to capture the steady flow of unhappiness鈥he distress I experience on recalling certain images and on hearing certain words is beyond comparison with what I felt at the time: these are merely literary emotions; in other words they generate the act of writing and justify its veracity.鈥�

She tells us she is not writing from a place of regret and has always stood by her decisions as being the right one for her at the time, even stating 鈥�I know that this ordeal and this sacrifice were necessary for me to want to have children,鈥� which she would later in life. What is most important is that she adds her voice, one she says is important because once something is legalized 鈥�former victims tend to remain silent on the grounds that 鈥渘ow it鈥檚 all over,鈥�鈥� and become 鈥�surrounded by the same veil of secrecy as before.鈥� She says she can avoid writing as an act of capturing rebellion and 鈥�face the reality of this unforgettable event,鈥� but also I believe this act of writing adds her to the list of women who showed empathy, comfort and aid to her during this time and allows her to be that comfort to another who may be reading this because 鈥�knowing that hundreds of other women had been through the same thing was a comfort to me.鈥� Many people across the world need that just as much today as ever.

鈥�As was often the case, you couldn鈥檛 tell whether abortion was banned because it was wrong or wrong because it was banned. People judged according to the law, they didn鈥檛 judge the law.鈥�

What resonates so urgently in Happening is the social stigmas, shame and danger women face when reproductive rights are denied to them, a right that claims is essential to women鈥檚 liberation in . Potential readers be aware this may be an uncomfortable read for many reasons (inevitably this review as well), and Ernaux addresses that directly:
鈥�I realize this account may exasperate or repel some readers; it may also be branded as distasteful. I believe that any experience, whatever its nature, has the inalienable right to be chronicled. There is no such thing as a lesser truth. Moreover, if I failed to go through with this undertaking, I would be guilty of silencing the lives of women and condoning a world governed by male supremacy.鈥�

At the time I read this, the United States was less than a week away from an election where in my state reproductive rights were the primary battleground just months after the US Supreme Court overturned Row vs. Wade. This book certainly hit hard, as the dangers and stigmas Ernaux elucidates are becoming a reality in many states. Luckily most states here have shown up in support of reproductive rights, with total bans proving extremely unpopular and losing most elections. Yet, without being codified into the constitution this is still an issue that is always looming.

鈥�In my diary I wrote: 鈥淚 am pregnant. It鈥檚 a nightmare.鈥�鈥�

Ernaux writes 鈥�the thing growing inside me I saw as the stigma of social failure,鈥� and as a college student who wishes to pursue academic arts, she writes that it would deny her access into that world and return her to the working class. Similarly, her pregnancy would be viewed as just another 鈥�inescapable fatality of the working-class鈥攖he legacy of poverty鈥攅mbodied by both the pregnant girl and the alcoholic.鈥� She writes that 鈥�I had stopped being 鈥渁n intellectual.鈥� I don鈥檛 know whether this feeling is widespread. It causes indescribable pain,鈥� and finds that she had 鈥�become an emotional outcast.鈥� The class aspects are interesting, as she knows there are avenues available but her social and financial status are massive barriers to them. Doctors won鈥檛 risk helping her (one even prescribed her medicine that prevents miscarriages while giving the impression he is helping), friend鈥檚 judge, and men seem to approach her with a sick fascination that unsettles her except 鈥�the only person who failed to show an interest was the boy who had gotten me pregnant.鈥� She notes, however, that for all the social ostracization of those who choose to abort, the same, if not worse, is heaped on single mothers that either chose or were forced to carry to term. Remembering the cruel dismissal of a single mother in the hospital by the nursing staff, Ernaux notes 鈥�Girls who abort and unwed mothers from working-class Rouen were handed the same treatment. In fact, they probably despised her even more.鈥� We see how either choice ends in a justification for society to devalue anyone who gets pregnant. Most writers on the subject will also mention this only gets worse with each marginalized intersectional identity.

鈥�So, by all means, don鈥檛 have an abortion, if you鈥檙e personally opposed to them. But the state policing of pregnant bodies is a form of misogynistic control, one whose effects will be most deeply felt by the most vulnerable girls and women. And this, in my book, is simply indefensible.鈥�
- , Entitled

The worst is that, without safe options, Ernaux must enter into dangerous procedures. Her first attempt on her own lands her in the hospital where she is judged by doctors. The procedure she has done on her also ends up with her near death in the hospital, being in complete fear for her life and being shouted at by a doctor so much that 鈥�I believed he might actually let me die.鈥� Ernaux does not shirk from directly presenting the events, noting that rarely in fiction does an abortion actually get described. 鈥�It鈥檚 an indescribable scene, life and death in the same breath. A sacrificial scene,鈥� she says. To write so bluntly and openly, I believe, is Ernaux鈥檚 way of being true to herself but also an attempt to pick away at the stigma. She briefly compares those who illegally perform abortions in 1960鈥檚 France to those who smuggle refugees across borders in the present day. 鈥�No one questions the laws and world order that condone their existence,鈥� she says, but wonders if for both there is 鈥�a sense of honor.鈥� For the record, France legalized abortion in 1975.

鈥�In my student bathroom, I had given birth to both life and death.鈥�

This is an intense read, but one that is courageously and beautifully written. I can鈥檛 stop thinking about the divide between those who showed cruelty and those who showed compassion to college-aged Ernaux during this time, and how much the aid of others meant so much to her 30 years later as she wrote the book. This is an excellent examination of memory along with the story, the way she finds what she remembers most shows that 鈥�true memory has to be material,鈥� and the way memory swaps in other鈥檚 faces on key people who we cannot remember much about. Ernaux continues to amaze me and I am awed at her handling of such a difficult subject in her own life while also allowing her story to shed light on society at large. Nobel committee, you sure picked a good one.

Wow鈥�.this book couldn鈥檛 be more timely. A reminder of why a women鈥檚 right to choose is vital鈥�..
My god 鈥�. it鈥檚 such an extremely personal human experience鈥�.. influencing life, death, time, law, ethics and taboo.

A woman, in France, (1963) writes about her an illicit abortion before abortions were legal.
鈥�. this is an autobiographical- story.

Annie Ernaux鈥檚 writing is as courageous as any memoir could possibly be. Powerful 鈥� devastating鈥� gripping 鈥� real 鈥� poignant!

鈥淎fter examining me with a two-finger stall, he informed me that I was most certainly pregnant. I hadn鈥檛 the courage to ask him to perform the abortion, I simply begged him to make the bleeding come back, at any cost鈥�.

鈥淕irls like me were a waste of time for doctors. With no money and no connections鈥� otherwise we wouldn鈥檛 accidentally end up on their doorstep鈥攚e were a constant reminder of the law that could send them to jail and close down their practice for good. They would never tell us the truth, that they weren鈥檛 prepared to sacrifice their career for some sweet chick foolish enough to get knocked up鈥�.

鈥淎s was often the case, you couldn鈥檛 tell whether abortion was banned because it was wrong or wrong because it was banned. People judged according to the law, they didn鈥檛 judge the law鈥�.

鈥淭housands of girls have climbed up stairs and knocked on a door answered by a woman who is a complete stranger, to whom they are about to entrust their stomach and their womb. And that woman, the only person who can rid them of their misfortune, would open the door, and in apron and patterned slippers, clutching a dish towel, and inquire, 鈥榊es, Miss, can I help you?鈥欌€�

鈥淟ater on, when I recalled her blinking eyes, her habit of chewing on her lower lip and that slightly haunted expression, it occurred to me that she too might have been afraid. Nothing, however, would have stopped her from doing what she did, just like nothing would鈥檝e stopped me from having the abortion. Clearly, money was a strong motive but she may also have felt she was helping women鈥�.

鈥淎s I am writing this, I learned that a bunch of Kosovar refugees are trying to enter Britain illegally via Calais. The smugglers are charging vast sums of money and some of them disappear before the crossing. Yet nothing will stop the Kosovars or any other poverty-stricken emigrants from fleeing their native country: it鈥檚 their soul means of survival. Today smugglers are vilified and pursued like abortionists were thirty years ago. No one questions the laws and world order that condone their existence. Yet surely, among those who trade in refugees, as among those who traded in foetuses, there must be some sense of honor鈥�.

鈥淚 couldn鈥檛 have imagined鈥攁s I can today鈥� that he would be sweating behind his desk, suddenly overcome with panic on hearing a young girl tell him she鈥檇 been walking around with a probe up her womb for the past three days. Faced with a terrible dilemma. If he agreed to see her, he would be forced by law to remove the device and let the unwanted pregnancy follow its course. On the other hand, if he refused to see her, she might very well die. It was the lesser of two evils and he was on his own. So he prescribed Masogynestril鈥�.

鈥淥n another afternoon I entered Saint Patrice鈥檚 Church just off the Boulevard de la Marne to tell a priest that I had an abortion. I immediately realized this was a mistake. I felt bath in a hallow of light and for him I was a criminal. Leaving the church, I realized that I was through with religion鈥�.

This book was soooo beautifully written 鈥� with compassion, truth, BRAVERY and humanity.

I鈥檓 feeling a growing draw to want to read every book that Annie Ernaux has written.

Ho letto 鈥淟鈥檈vento鈥� senza riuscire a smettere e ho pianto. Perch茅 猫 un racconto di una potenza indescrivibile: la scrittura va dritta nel profondo, di qualsiasi sostanza il profondo sia fatto.
Rimuove le protezioni, scardina le difese, colpisce, incide.

鈥淟鈥檈vento鈥� testimonia ci貌 che Annie Ernaux ha realizzato scrivendo, esprime il significato e il senso del suo lavoro e del suo talento: 鈥渃he il mio corpo, le mie sensazioni e i miei pensieri diventino scrittura, qualcosa di intellegibile e di generale, la mia esistenza completamente dissolta nella testa e nella vita degli altri.鈥� Obiettivo raggiunto. Meraviglioso.

Non si tratta soltanto del racconto mirabile di una esperienza devastante, di un quadro preciso e desolante della realt脿 sociale maschilista e classista della Francia degli anni 60, del potere e del controllo sul corpo femminile, e infine della trasfigurazione del dettaglio quando entra nell鈥檜niverso di significazione individuale, ma anche di una elaborazione originale dell鈥檈sperienza personale nella scrittura, in modo che diventi patrimonio esistenziale e culturale di chiunque voglia accedere, leggendo, al luminoso ripensamento del mondo nella letteratura.

In estrema sintesi, come afferma Donatella Di Pietrantonio, si tratta di 鈥渦n鈥檃ltissima, universale dichiarazione d鈥檃more per la scrittura, quasi un manifesto della sua necessit脿.鈥�

Una novela corta sobre el trauma y la despersonalizaci贸n de un evento cubierto de capas.

El acontecimiento que nos narra Annie es duro, complicado y oscuro, pero al mismo tiempo, nace de algo que parece sencillo a ojos actuales. En una 茅poca donde el aborto era un crimen terrible e ilegal, Annie nos narra su batalla contra el sistema y contra s铆 misma. Sobre todo, contra los demonios de su cabeza.

Es descorazonador leer las sensaciones que sinti贸, pero sobre todo es un torrente de emociones sin pausa que desde el primer momento atrapan por la crudeza de la narraci贸n. A destacar, la manera en la que es capaz de condensar en simples frases las sensaciones de despersonalizaci贸n y disforia, que calan y emocionan.

Sin duda, un relato duro pero con un rayo de esperanza. El hecho de que Annie Ernaux haya necesitado purgarse de este acontecimiento conecta con el lector y hace que nos demos cuenta de que el dolor es m谩s dolor si no se comparte.

Nobel Prize in Literature 2022, Annie Ernaux!

A very short memoir Annie Ernaux published at age 60 about three months of her life in 1963, when she was 23 and living in a student dorm in Rouen. She had had, as many college students do, a couple sexual experiences, including one with another student, after which she realizes she is pregnant. Abortion was illegal in France at this time, and she has few options. Her life in ruins? No doctors can legally perform the end of this pregnancy, but a friend helps her find a woman who will do it. But it is clearly unsafe, and traumatizing on so many levels, of course.

But she says at one point succinctly that she did not write this because of any lingering feelings of shame or regret; she saw it as the right choice for her at the time, and still thinks that. She had two children later when she was married and prepared to be a mother. It should be obvious that the brief relationship with the boy would not have come to marriage; he wanted nothing to do with the process, or with her, as she went through the procedure, and recovery.

Ernaux works hard to take the emotion out of her story as much as possible, intending to just describe things as they were for her then. Though clearly this is a powerful emotional experience for her in many ways. And not surprisingly, she remembers this event very clearly. And it is difficult, and anguishing. Of course it is almost too obviously connected in 2022 for me (and I am sure many others) to the US Supreme Court (and those of Texas, and so many other states) and decisions they will almost certainly make this year.

I understand that a film adaptation of it won the Golden Lion (the top award) at the 2021 Venice Film Festival, so I will definitely see it when I can. Here鈥檚 a clip:

ve 鈥渙lay鈥漧a birlikte t眉rk莽edeki annie ernaux鈥檒ar谋 艧imdilik bitirdim.
ilk edisyonlar谋nda bu kitab谋 鈥渒眉rtaj鈥� ad谋yla basan errrrkek yay谋nc谋lar谋 da k谋n谋m k谋n谋m k谋n谋yorum. halbuki annie ernaux kendisi zaten olay diye bahsetmi艧 ve kitap boyunca ni莽in bu olay谋 tekrar an谋msad谋臒谋n谋 ve ge莽mi艧teki bu olay谋 nas谋l a艧abilece臒ini didikleyip duruyor.
bir kere ahlak莽谋 bir anlat谋 de臒il. k眉rtaj kar艧谋tlar谋 okumas谋n :)) kad谋n gayet g眉zel gen莽li臒inde yapt谋臒谋 hatay谋 d眉zeltmi艧. belki k眉rtaj olamasa bug眉n annie ernaux olamayacakt谋. 莽眉nk眉 istenmeyen 莽ocuk 枚yle etkiler hayat谋.
bu konuda y谋llard谋r tv鈥檒erde, sadece bizde de臒il abd ve t眉rk dizilerinde g枚sterildi臒i gibi travmatik d眉艧眉nm眉yorum. kad谋nlar pratik canl谋lard谋r. ay谋lmadan bay谋lmadan kendileri i莽in ne gerekiyorsa onu yaparlar. 70-80鈥檒erde maalesef annem ve arkada艧lar谋 i莽in k眉rtaj do臒um kontrol眉 gibi kullan谋lm谋艧. ben bir kom艧umuzun k眉rtaj谋na g枚t眉r眉ld眉臒眉m眉 (莽眉nk眉 beni b谋rakacak yer yoktu) ve annemin o kom艧uya k谋zkarde艧lik yapt谋臒谋n谋 hayal meyal hat谋rl谋yorum. kimse de travmalara girip g眉nah modlar谋nda dolanm谋yordu. hayat onu gerektiriyordu.
allah谋n belas谋 fransa鈥檔谋n 60鈥檒arda hala ge莽erli olan yasalar谋 y眉z眉nden korkun莽 bir k眉rtaj bu anlat谋da ya艧anan. buna ra臒men ernaux haz谋r olunca iki tane do臒urmu艧. 莽眉nk眉 biz kad谋nlar 枚yleyizdir.
neyse ben errrrkek devlete, errrrkek hukuka, errrrkek jinekologlara ve errrkek akademisyenlere bol bol k眉frettim. ilk gitti臒i doktorun verdi臒i ila莽lar谋n fet眉s眉n daha iyi tutunmas谋 i莽in oldu臒unu okudu臒umda hele. biliyorsunuz bizde de kalp at谋艧谋 dinletiyorlar r谋za almadan, duy da etkilen ve ald谋rma diye. 莽眉nk眉 evet. bildiniz 艧errefsiz erkekler.
neyse bu edebi yorumumu burada bitireyim. di臒er kitaplara g枚re daha bireysel ama elbette yine 枚nemli bir annie ernaux anlat谋s谋. ve siren idemen 莽evirisi 鉂わ笍 ben.

"UN CORSO STAGNANTE DI INFELICIT脌"

Credo sia necessario, in un periodo di buio medievale come quello che stiamo vivendo ora a livello globale, quando l'aborto viene sempre pi霉 ostacolato da governi conservatori e non si ha la minima coscienza di quello che vuol dire vietarlo legalmente, leggere questo romanzo. Capire davvero che cosa una donna provi a livello psichico e fisico in situazioni simili.

Ernaux indaga sull'evento, cruciale nella sua biografia, dell'aborto compiuto all'inizio degli anni '60, quando la pratica, in Francia, era vietata per legge. Nello stesso tempo, prova a dare una definizione di "letteratura", prova cio猫 a descrivere l'indescrivibile in parole che possano comunicare ci貌 che 猫 successo, perch茅 "aver vissuto una cosa, qualsiasi cosa, conferisce il diritto inalienabile di scriverla".

Il testo 猫 schietto, certe volte si limita a registrare il corso degli eventi, anche le situazioni pi霉 difficili da descrivere. Per "restare pi霉 vicina possibile alla sensazione di un corso stagnante di infelicit脿", la prosa riproduce le sensazioni della protagonista, la spersonalizzazione risentita durante la disperata ricerca d'aiuto e in ogni fase dell'atroce esperienza subita.

"Perch茅 il turbamento che provo nel rivedere alcune immagini, riascoltare alcune parole, non ha niente a che vedere con quello che sentivo allora, 猫 soltanto un鈥檈mozione di scrittura. Voglio dire: che permette la scrittura e ne costituisce il segno di verit脿".

... les choses me sont arriv茅es pour que j'en rende compte. Et le v茅ritable but de ma vie est peut-锚tre seulement celui-ci: que mons corps, mes sensations, et mes pens茅es deviennent de l'茅criture.

... these things happened to me so that I might account for/realise them. And the true purpose of my life is perhaps only this: that my body, my feelings and my thoughts become writing.

Make no mistake, this is an unflinching account by Ernaux of a pivotal and horrific experience: as a twenty-three year old student in 1963 she found herself pregnant from a fleeting relationship, in a France where abortion was illegal and a criminal act. Anyone squeamish needs to be warned that Ernaux, with her usual unwavering and fearless gaze, doesn't shy away from the physical details of knitting needles, probes, induced miscarriage and the bloody results.

But none of this is either prurient or sensationalist. As the quotation above indicates, Ernaux has appointed herself the witness and creator of testimony for generations of women whose experiences have been secret, made to feel shameful, hidden and not acknowledged, perhaps sometimes, for various reasons, even by themselves.

One of the key points made here is how isolated Ernaux was during this desperate experience, forced into hiding it from her parents, with medical practitioners wary of the illegal status of her actions, and even being shouted at by a surgeon when rushed into hospital haemorrhaging.

So while this is a personal and subjective testimony, it also looks forward to Ernaux's , a kind of group or generational biography that switches between the individual and the social. In some ways, Ernaux is speaking for women as a multiple, and is self-conscious of the circulation of gendered power in this story as overwhelmingly male lawmakers and physicians are gatekeepers to the experiences undergone by female bodies.

As always, Ernaux's writing is lucid and precise, and marked by its almost pellucid quality (so much so that I've switched to reading her in French). I can't put my finger on the particular alchemy of Ernaux's vision and prose but despite a significant age gap between us (she was born in 1940), she manages to hold up a mirror to women's lives and we see ourselves there.

From a perch of forty year's distance, Annie Ernaux chronicles the time when she was a 23-year-old student who went through the hell that is an illegal abortion. It doesn't matter if you are pro-life or pro-choice (both so nice sounding, aren't they?), as a reader you will read this one-sitting, 95-pager, and say, "That was hell."

New to me, Ernaux is one of those straight shooters. Simple writing style. Free flowing. Nice use of white space as most of the book consists of one and two-paragraph bullets. If you have any writing aspirations, she's the type of author that inspires by dint of the fact that it looks easy. Of course, in writing, looks are deceiving.

Also of interest is Ernaux's use of images. You won't forget the hairbrush in the room where the abortion is performed. I also did not know that, in Catholic France of the 60s, abortion was illegal. Then again, beyond DeGaulle who had this thing for Jackie Kennedy, there's not much I DO know about France in the 60s.

In the final analysis, getting pregnant and feeling lonely due to a (now) disinterested man and ambivalent friends is a worthy topic, no matter how ordinary your language.

Un acontecimiento ordinario que no volver谩 a suceder

Este breve libro cuenta c贸mo la autora abort贸 en los a帽os 60, cuando aun estaba prohibido en Francia. Lo cuenta desde su adultez, cuando le sucedi贸 media vida y, especialmente, cuando el aborto ya es legal.

Su potencia es que cuenta de manera extraordinaria un hecho, digamos, ordinario, por aquellos d铆as. Un aborto con apenas complicaciones en un proceso clandestino por el que pasaban muchas mujeres. Clandestino pero del que todo el mundo sab铆a a d贸nde acudir, cu谩nto se cobraba y qu茅 hab铆a que hacer en algunos casos.

Me record贸 a la pel铆cula rumana "4 meses, 3 semanas, 2 d铆as", una de las mejores que vi en mi vida (creo que gan贸 la Palma de Oro en Cannes). En ese caso habla de un aborto en tiempos de Ceaucescu. Y tambi茅n me remiti贸 a uno que le铆 hace poco, "El consentimiento" sobre una chica de 14 a帽os que ten铆a relaciones con un famoso escritor de 50 ante la anuencia de su madre; en ambos est谩 el radical cambio de perspectiva en el lapso de una generaci贸n. Una marca del largo camino recorrido por el feminismo y un faro a la vez de lo que resta por recorrer hacia una igualdad total de g茅nero. Tambi茅n, como escrib铆 en la rese帽a de aquel libro, en este me da cosa andar puntuando con estrellitas el relato de una experiencia tremenda por la que pasaron las autoras.

Me pregunto si habr谩 un libro similar en la Argentina. Alguno que cuente c贸mo fue abortar en el pa铆s antes de la aprobaci贸n de la ley. Me acuerdo de una nota de Ana Correa que en su momento me conmovi贸.

Although abortion was mentioned in many novels, no details were given about what actually took place. There was a sort of void between the moment the girl learns she is pregnant and the moment it's all over.

Annie Ernaux 茅 uma memorialista extremamente audaciosa. Fala do seu passado sem pudores, quer seja para exorcizar a morte do pai e a doen莽a de Alzheimer da m茫e, nomeadamente no livro 鈥淯m Lugar ao Sol / Uma Mulher鈥�, quer seja para relatar um caso amoroso, como em 鈥淯ma Paix茫o Simples鈥�. Em 鈥淗appening鈥�, ao ir levantar umas an谩lises de despiste do HIV, lembra-se de outro epis贸dio ainda mais angustiante, quando tinha 23 anos e teve de fazer um aborto clandestino, ainda nos anos 60, quando a interrup莽茫o volunt谩ria da gravidez e a contracep莽茫o ainda eram crime em Fran莽a.
O relato 茅 tanto um libelo como a purga de um trauma, mas por mais duro e arrepiante que se torne em certos momentos, Ernaux doseia bem o teor confessional com o tom factual.

I realize this account may exasperate or repel some readers; it also may be branded as distasteful. I believe any experience, whatever its nature, has the alienable right to be chronicled. There鈥檚 no such thing as a lesser truth. Moreover if I failed to go through with this undertaking I would be guilty of silencing the lives of women and condoning a world governed by male supremacy.

(Mi Ernaux #8 del a帽o).

"He acabado de poner en palabras lo que se me revela como una experiencia humana total de la vida y de la muerte, del tiempo, de la moral y de lo prohibido, de la ley, una experiencia vivida desde el principio al final a trav茅s del cuerpo".

Un aborto clandestino, el de Ernaux y el de tantas, atravesado por la profunda misoginia de una sociedad conservadora y por las marcas que deja la clase social. Es una lectura tan brutal y estremecedora como necesaria.

Asettico ma disturbante. Stile freddo ma dolore che trasuda soprattutto dagli incisi. Nel punto centrale agghiacciante, il sangue ti si gela nelle vene.

Ha avuto cuore e coraggio, la Ernaux, a scrivere questo memoir. L'ha fatto per s猫 stessa ("E forse il vero scopo della mia vita 猫 soltanto questo: che il mio corpo, le mie sensazioni e i miei pensieri diventino scrittura, qualcosa di intellegibile e di generale, la mia esistenza completamente dissolta nella testa e nella vita degli altri" . "Aver vissuto una cosa, qualsiasi cosa, conferisce il diritto inalienabile di scriverla") e per le donne di oggi e di domani ("E se non andassi fino in fondo nel riferire questa esperienza contribuirei ad oscurare la realt脿 delle donne, schierandomi dalla parte della dominazione maschile del mondo").

Chapeau madame Ernaux

A difficult subject to write about ...."an indescribable scene, life and death in the same breath. A sacrificial scene...an abberation, an inexplicable moment of chaos...a bomb or a granade erupting, the bung of a casket popping."

Annie Ernaux - exposed as an emotional outcast...a chastised paragon. The psychological pain- the despair - the social shame - the human putrefaction. A silent downfall - an emotional collapse: a dark sinister wave embracing the soul. Longing to regain the power of reasoning. Craving for compassion.

An emotional diatribe of the stigma and social failure...."people judged according to the law, they didn't judge the law."

4.5/5

芦Curioso como um livro publicado em 2000, escrito em 1999, e que fala de coisas que se passaram nos anos 1960, consegue ser t茫o atual. Numa altura em que vemos direitos a serem retirados 脿s mulheres, sobretudo em pa铆ses onde os consider谩vamos conquistados para sempre, acho que esta leitura se torna ainda mais importante e inevit谩vel. Recomendo muit铆ssimo que o leiam, independentemente do vosso g茅nero.禄

Annie Ernaux bildi臒imiz gibi valla: yani muhte艧em. 馃挏 Normalde kitab谋 okumadan filmini izlemeyi tercih etmem ama bu kitaptan Audrey Diwan'谋n uyarlad谋臒谋 K眉rtaj filmi ge莽ti臒imiz y谋l Filmekimi'ne gelince ka莽谋rmayay谋m demi艧tim, bence iyi de etmi艧im, film de harikayd谋 ve kitab谋n lezzetinden bir 艧ey eksiltti臒ini d眉艧眉nm眉yorum. Bu arada bu kitap y谋llar 枚nce yine "K眉rtaj" ad谋yla 莽evrilmi艧ti maalesef, bu kez isminin asl谋na uygun olarak de臒i艧tirilmesine 莽ok sevindim.

1963 y谋l谋nda, Fransa'da k眉rtaj halen yasal de臒ilken ya艧ad谋臒谋 k眉rtaj deneyimini anlat谋yor Ernaux Olay'da. Bu kusursuz k眉莽眉k kitab谋n sonunda s枚yledi臒i 艧eyi san谋r谋m Ernaux okurken hep akl谋m谋zda tutmam谋z laz谋m, o nedenle buraya almak istiyorum: "Ya艧ad谋klar谋ma dair bulabildi臒im t眉m toplumsal ve psikolojik nedenlerin 枚tesinde, hepsinden daha fazla emin oldu臒um bir 艧ey var: Ya艧ad谋klar谋m, onlarla hesapla艧abilmem, onlar谋 a莽谋klay谋p anlatmam i莽in ba艧谋ma geldi. Ve belki de hayat谋m谋n ger莽ek amac谋 sadece 艧udur: Bedenimin, hislerimin ve d眉艧眉ncelerimin yaz谋ya d枚n眉艧mesi, yani kavranabilir ve genel bir 艧eye d枚n眉艧mesi, varl谋臒谋m谋n ba艧kalar谋n谋n zihninde ve hayatlar谋nda tamamen erimesi."

Ernaux, hep yapt谋臒谋 gibi 莽谋r谋l莽谋plak soyunuyor kar艧谋m谋zda ve ben kendisine bir kez daha hayran kal谋yorum. Bu nas谋l bir d眉r眉stl眉kle yazmakt谋r, mahremin pekala toplumsal olana dair bir 艧ey s枚yledi臒inin kabul眉 ve bundan ald谋臒谋 cesaretle nas谋l bir kendini ortaya koymakt谋r ya? 脺stelik bu kez 23 ya艧谋nda bir gen莽 kad谋n i莽in son derece a臒谋r olabilecek bir illegal k眉rtaj hikayesi mevzubahis. Ernaux olay谋 anlat谋rken, tam 33 sene sonradan bakan bir g枚z olarak aralara parantezler a莽谋p yeti艧kin halinin anlat谋y谋 莽er莽evelemesine de izin veriyor ve bu b枚l眉mlerle iyice tamamlan谋yor metin.

脟ok yeri i莽ime 莽ok dokundu ama san谋r谋m en 莽ok 艧uras谋; hamileli臒i boyunca konuya dair konu艧mamaya 莽al谋艧an insanlar谋n, sonras谋nda onu 枚vmesi, tebrik etmesi, "iyi s谋yr谋ld谋臒谋n谋" s枚ylemelerine dair yazd谋臒谋 艧u c眉mle: "maruz kald谋臒谋m 艧iddeti bireysel bir zafere d枚n眉艧t眉rmem i莽in te艧vik ediyorlard谋 beni." Ah! Bu ne kadar, ne kadar tan谋d谋k bir duygu - hele bizim gibi Orta Do臒u'da d眉nyaya gelmi艧 kad谋nlar i莽in!

Enfes bir kitap Olay. Ger莽ekten enfes.

Otro libro que me result贸 dif铆cil de leer. Mucho dolor, una realidad terrible, una cr贸nica del horror al que se enfrentan muchas mujeres. No puedo decir que lo disfrut茅, no es algo que genere eso. Pero agradezco que haya mujeres como Annie para visibilizarlo.

Ce r茅cit est d鈥檜ne importance primordiale et d鈥檜ne 茅criture limpide, primaire, qui retranscrit avec une justesse et une honn锚tet茅 rare un v茅cu intime. Quand je pense que des critiques disent d鈥橢rnaux qu鈥檈lle est racoleuse, j鈥檃i envie de les encastrer. Bref, inspirant.
