Description: A solid used example of this US 1st edition (3rd printing) of the first English translation of this short novel, originally released in France in 1991 as 'Passion simple ', from celebrated multi-award winning French writer and literature professor Annie Ernaux. She is best known in the UK for 'The Years ', which was shortlisted for the 2019 International Booker Prize. ** On 6 October 2022, Annie Ernaux was announced as the winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize for Literature by the Nobel Academy in Stockholm. ** 'Simple Passion ', published by Four Walls Eight Windows in New York in September 1993, 1st edition/3rd printing, medium modern hardback, [x] + 64 pages. Translation by Tanya Leslie. Internally in very fine condition, seemingly unread, no inscriptions or markings. Externally both the book and the dustjacket (unclipped at $15) are in at least good+ condition, some storage wear and pushing to spine ends, gutter ends and a couple of points at edges and corners, similar wear to dustjacket, which also has light fading to spine, light nicks to foot of the spine and some form of retail security sticker affixed to the inside of the front panel (light shadow of this visible from front). The top edge of the text block has a red dot in felt pen, suggesting a remainder item, and the top edge is also lightly spotted. WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE In her spare, stark style, Annie Ernaux documents the desires and indignities of a human heart ensnared in an all-consuming passion. Blurring the line between fact and fiction, she attempts to plot the emotional and physical course of her two-year relationship with a married man where every word, event, and person either provides a connection with her beloved or is subject to her cold indifference. With courage and exactitude, Ernaux seeks the truth behind an existence lived, for a time, entirely for someone else.
