«El lugar» is the literary novel by Annie Ernaux, published by Planeta in hardcover (112 pages, in Spanish).
Annie Ernaux reconstructs the life of her father: a former rural worker who ends up running a small shop. The distance between them grows when she, thanks to education, enters a world to which he does not belong. The work addresses social mobility, class prejudices and the difficulty of finding one's own place.
Translation by Nahir Gutiérrez. The work, originally written in French, won the Prix Renaudot in 1984. This edition belongs to the Andanzas collection.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction focused on family and social classes.
Annie Thérèse Blanche Ernaux is a French writer who was awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the courage and clinical acuity with which she uncovers the roots, estrangements, and collective restraints of personal memory". Her literary work, mostly autobiographical, maintains close links with sociology.
