2022 Nobel Prize in Literature goes to Annie Ernaux

The Committee made the precise resolution, says taz:

“This 12 months’s Nobel Prize for Literature has not gone to the venerable, the subtle, the refined, however to the shabby, the icy, the sharply bleeding. … Ernaux just isn’t an artist who examines the poor and unseen however one who writes instantly from that perspective. … The writer, who’s now 82 years previous, has remained true to herself regardless of her worldly fame. She is all the time concerned in present political occasions, takes a stand, defends the destitute. … The French writer is being awarded the Nobel Prize amongst different issues ‘for her braveness’, the Swedish Academy mentioned. In this case, this isn’t an empty phrase.”
