Life Outside (collection of Anne Ernault's Works)
About This Novel
Why did Anne Ernault, who took herself as the starting point of her writing, reverse her writing perspective and focus on the outside world? The answer lies in this social observation record spanning seven years (1993-1999). From the war in Bosnia to social issues such as poverty and AIDS, from the terrorist attacks on the Paris subway to subtle interactions with ordinary store clerks, Ernault attempts to reach the reality of an era by capturing a large number of snapshots of people's daily lives. The feeling of time passing does not come from ourselves. It comes from outside, from children growing up, from neighbors who move away, from those who grow old and die. --"The Life Outside" "The Life Outside" is a perfect example of the reason for the existence of the act of writing. --"Le Monde"
