Happening by Annie Ernaux

Happening by Annie Ernaux

Ernaux recounts, with her characteristic clinical precision, her own experience seeking an illegal abortion as a young student in 1960s France, documenting the fear, physical danger and social isolation of navigating a medical crisis criminalised by the state.

Writing decades after the events, Ernaux refuses both sentimentality and shame, treating the experience with the same unflinching, almost sociological exactness that defines her broader autobiographical project, making the personal ordeal into a precise document of a specific historical and legal reality.

By the 2022 Nobel laureate in Literature, a stark and influential memoir, later adapted into an award-winning film.
