Simple Passion by Annie Ernaux

Simple Passion by Annie Ernaux

In this slim autobiographical work, Ernaux records the year and a half she spent consumed by an affair with a married foreign diplomat, structuring her entire existence around his visits and the waiting between them.

Ernaux writes with her characteristic clinical detachment turned on her own desire, refusing both romanticism and shame, and treating the experience as material for precise observation rather than confession. The brevity is deliberate — the book mirrors the compressed, obsessive time-sense of the affair itself.

By the 2022 Nobel laureate in Literature. Spare, exacting and unlike conventional romantic memoir.
