Annie Ernaux's literary introspection
Uncover the reasons and goals of writing
Over the course of about a year, the writer Genai asked Aino questions about writing via email.
Aino explained his exploration of writing form and talked about the guilt of being a class "defector";
From how she views literature to her desire to write about reality;
From describing the way you awaken memories, to people’s misunderstandings about psychoanalysis and writing;
From the writing process of each work, she talked about her diary and the method of formulating writing plans;
From her research on Surrealism to her far-left political stance and actions;
She also talked about the meaning of feminism to her from her growth experience along the way.
In this book, readers will get a glimpse of the insights and soul of this great writer, whether it is the handling of various links in the actual writing process, or the motivation for writing, as well as the ideas, concepts and understanding of the world behind it. . This is a literary introspection by Anne Aynault and a rare writing master class.
"My personal idea about literature is that I hope that every sentence carries facts, and that every word not only has grammatical meaning, but also brings feelings and images. When writing/reading, every word can bring out The reality of being ‘solid’, as we use the term to describe a building, is not ‘light’ at all.”
"I recreate memories through stories, or narrations of scenes and details, and that scene, those details, and sentences are the carrier of that feeling. I need that feeling (or awaken the memory of that feeling), I need it to come to me naked and naked. Then I can find the right words. In other words, feeling is a necessary condition for writing and a necessary condition for constructing reality.”
“I rarely think of myself as a unique individual, at least not absolutely singular, but as the sum of countless experiences and social, historical, gender and linguistic ties that are in constant dialogue with society as a whole (past and present). Yes, all of this will inevitably shape a unique subject, but I start from this subjective self to explore and reveal more universal and collective mechanisms and phenomena."
"What I get from Surrealism is the freedom of form and the will to present the world through language, rather than the "form" of the text. Although I can't see the lyricism and poetry of Surrealism, all These, this freedom, this pursuit have deeply affected my writing. I think the most important thing about a book is the effect it has on a person’s inner and outer world.”
"I did say before that as a class defector, writing is the best way for me to participate in politics. However, I do not mean to use books to replace my involvement in politics, nor do I want those books to become my way to participate in politics. For me, writing is a political act, in other words, helping to reveal and change the world, or conversely, to consolidate the existing social and moral order.”
"If I were to give a definition of writing, it would be this: to explore through writing things that cannot be discovered through other means, such as language, travel, performance, etc. Even reflection cannot do it. To explore a person who is writing Something that didn’t exist before. That’s the joy—and the horror—of writing, because we don’t know what it will bring, what will happen.”
