This slim volume published by the Mauconduit provides the text of a lecture delivered by annie ernaux October 13, 2012 in his childhood town, accompanied by a personal interview and photographs. This return has provided an opportunity for the author to comment on what Yvetot represented in his work and his life, the two are inseparable - back on its vocation of writer, his first books, preparing his writing. Nothing new, except the photographs. An interesting introduction to A. Ernaux for the neophyte, a confirmation for the connoisseur.
