Writing from lived experience often has legitimacy, but autofiction has fictional elements that trouble the autobiographical pact.
Annie Ernaux is the first French woman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Her autofiction masterpiece, The Years, has been called a modern In Search of Lost Time.
The French writer has won the Nobel for literature for her ascetic approach to writing and fearlessness in covering the personal and taboo.
From the Archives: Ernaux’s English translation, Happening, has come to be seen as one of the great pieces of writing about abortion.
