About this book
"Maybe the true purpose of my life is for my body, my sensations and my thoughts to become writing, in other words, something intelligible and universal, causing my existence to merge into the lives and heads of other people." "In 1963, Annie Ernaux, twenty-three and single, became pregnant. Forty years later, using her journals of the day, she retraces her experience of the ensuing months. Happening is perhaps Ernaux's most risk-taking and emotionally raw journey yet."--BOOK JACKET.

Annie Ernaux (née Duchesne; born 1 September 1940) is a French writer and professor of literature. Her literary work, mostly autobiographical, maintains close links with sociology. Ernaux 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".
