WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE 2022
Translated by Anna Moschovakis
More Magazine, Top Ten of 2008 The strangest thing about jealousy is that it can populate an entire city--the whole world--with a person you may never have met.
These first words set the framework for The Possession, a striking portrait of a woman after a love affair has ended. Annie Ernaux pulls the reader through every step of jealousy, of a woman's need to know who has replaced her in a lost beloved's life. Ernaux's writing, characteristically gorgeous in its precision, depicts the all too familiar human tendency to seek control and certainty after rejection.
