WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE
Annie Ernaux’s profound investigation into the life of her mysterious older sister, who died at six, two years before Annie was born.
In the summer of 1950, when Annie Ernaux is ten, she inadvertently learns she had a sister who died at six, two years before her own birth. Having believed she was an only child, she learns that she has replaced another daughter—“the little saint,” “the absent one in every conversation,” who lives on in Annie’s parents’ wordless grief.
Taking the form of a letter to the unknown sister, The Other Girl was published in French in 2011 as part of the Affranchis collection (published by les éditions du Nil), which invited writers to compose “the letter they’d never written,” inspired by Kafka’s Letter to His Father. “I had to come to terms with this mysterious inconsistency: you, the good girl, were not saved, but I, the demon, survived. More than survived, was miraculously saved. So you had to die at six for me to come into the world and be saved.”
The Other Girl by the 2022 Nobel Laureate appears now for the first time in an English language version, adding a necessary and wondrous piece to the great and ongoing puzzle that is the oeuvre of one of our greatest living writers, Annie Ernaux.
