Seven Stories Press Ltd

Magisterial in scope and size, ‘Writing, The Other Life’ comprises 24 previously unpublished Annie Ernaux pieces, as well as literary criticism, essays, interviews, diary entries, a song by Jeanne Cherhal, newspaper clippings, a comic strip by Aurelia Aurita, and letters from Simone de Beauvoir. Never before published in English, this beautifully visual collection includes an eight-page colour photo insert with images, handwritten manuscript pages, and drawings sprinkled throughout. It is the fruit of collaboration between six celebrated translators and a ground-breaking work of scholarship.
