From the Archives: Annie Ernaux’s The Years parts 1, 2 & 3 Jun 20, 2023

Show notes

A close analysis of the Nobel Prize winner’s masterpiece, the lecture delves deep into Ernaux’s prose, structure, use of popular culture and broad span. Kimberly explains why she thinks the Prize committee was apt in recognizing Ernaux’s “clinical acuity”–a term that doesn’t sound all that amazing, but really is. Listen in as Kimberly reveals how she decided to skim over some of the more abstruse French cultural references–but then COULDN’T! Because this prose is SO GOOD.

From The Archives: Jeannette Haiens' The All of It parts 1, 2 & 3 Jun 20, 2023

Show notes

This very brief novel is a STUNNER. It's moving, unique and absolutely fascinating. It's worth reading for the amazing structure alone! Join Kimberly to understand the masterful way that Haien aligns the reader with certain characters--and why that literary sleight of hand becomes so powerful. This is the juicy kind of lecture that will have you heading right back to re-read The All of It as soon as Kimberly's done.

Kimberly has read a number of covid novels. She loved how Erdrich sets super-lovable characters and plenty of tension not only during the pandemic but in a Minneapolis that is rocked by the murder of George Floyd. Join Kimberly to see why Erdrich’s excellent prose makes this much more than a novel about a moment in time.
