I Remain In Darkness
Annie Ernaux, Tanya Leslie (translation)"A small, powerful, & overwritten memoir of a mother’s slow deterioration & death in a nursing home... The impact of this courageous, sometimes unsubtle little book is sure to not pass away quickly." — Kirkus Reviews
In the summer of 1983, Annie Ernaux's mother fell ill & stopped eating & drinking for several days. Her memory started to lapse & later the same year she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. This collection of relentlessly honest journal entries traces the descent of Ernaux's mother into the depths of disease & reveals the author's own complex feelings of guilt & responsibility. Profoundly self-revealing, it is a work that will provide readers with insight into their own questions of loss & grief.
"As always, Ernaux's marriage of opposites - disgust & adoration, revulsion & emulation, dirt-physical & heady-theoretical - takes place on the whitest of pages. Ernaux's opposites rip her in two in spite of her spare languages ... [Her] art is in her fight with words." — Los Angeles Times
I Remain in Darkness is a new high watermark for Ernaux, surging with raw emotional power & her sublime ability to use language to apprehend her own life's particular music. An extraordinary evocation of a grown daughter's attachment to her mother, & of both women's strength & resiliency.
