内容简介

Considered by many to be the iconic French memoirist's defining work, THE YEARS is a narrative of the period 1941 to 2006 told through the lens of memory, impressions past and present, photos, books, songs, radio, television, advertising, and news headlines. Local dialect, words of the times, slogans, brands and names for ever-proliferating objects are given voice here. The voice we recognize as the author's continually dissolves and re-emerges as Annie Ernaux makes the passage of time palpable. Time itself, inexorable, narrates its own course, consigning all other narrators to anonymity. A new kind of autobiography emerges, at once subjective and impersonal, private and collective. On its 2008 publication in France, THE YEARS came as a surprise. Though Ernaux had for years been hailed as a beloved, bestselling and award-winning author, this was in many ways a departure: both an intimate memoir `written' by entire generations, and a story of generations telling a very personal story. Like the generation before hers, the narrator eschews the `I' for the `we' (`on' in French) as if collective life were inextricably intertwined with a private life that in her parents' generation ceased to exist. In inventing a new genre - the collective autobiography - Annie Ernaux has written a genuine, genre-bending masterpiece which cements her place as one of our greatest memoirists.

Edward's fine profile again caught her eye. He was listening, critically, intently. It wouldn't have done, she thought, it wouldn't have done at all.

一切都将在一秒钟之内消失。从摇篮到临终床上积累起来的全部词汇也会消失。这将是沉默,而且没有一个词可以说明。从张开的嘴巴里什么都说不出来。无论是我还是自我。语言会继续把世界变成词汇。在节目餐桌旁的谈话中,我们只会是一个越来越没有面目的、直到消失在遥远一代无名大众里的名字。

在任何场合都训斥般地大声说话,似乎自古以来就必须报复整个世界一样。 害怕出门和陌生人,因为从未离开自己家的人,无论哪个城市都是世界的尽头。
