Cleaned Out tells the story of Denise Lesur, a 20-year-old woman suffering the after-effects of a back-alley abortion. Alone in her college dorm room, Denise attempts to understand how her suffocating middle-class upbringing has brought her to such an awful present. Ernaux, one of France' s most important contemporary writers, daringly breaks with formal French literary tradition in this moving novel about abortion, growing up, and coming to terms with one' s childhood.
Written with raw and powerful images, Annie Ernaux says the ' unsayable' as she confronts the experience of having an abortion and of growing up in the post-World War II generation? all in a fresh, original voice. -- San Francisco Chronicle Cleaned Out is more than a powerful evocation of the class system in France in the 1950s and of one woman' s struggle to move up in the class hierarchy and forget her past. It is also a novel that serves as a haunting contribution, both in subject matter and literary form, to the project of the culturally disenfranchised speaking in their own voice. -- Bloomsbury Review
She won the Prix Renaudot in 1984 for her book La Place, an autobiographical narrative focusing on her relationship with her father and her experiences growing up in a small town in France, and her subsequent process of moving into adulthood and away from her parents' place of origin.
