## Bio

Born Annie Duchesne on 1 September 1940, she grew up in a world split between the working-class café her parents ran and the middle-class education that pulled her away from it. She turned that split into a method: autobiographical writing that reads like sociology, each book dissecting a piece of her life with clinical precision. The approach - no sentiment, no metaphor, just the mechanics of memory and the class structures that shape it - became her signature. In 2022, the Nobel Prize in Literature recognized what she'd been doing for decades: uncovering how collective restraints live inside personal experience.
