La Vergüenza (Premio Nobel de Literatura 2022) / Shame (Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2022)


Overview

Una escena familiar, y sus consecuencias perturbadoras, diseccionadas por la autora que ha hecho de su vida materia literaria. En 1952, cuando Annie Ernaux tenía doce años, su padre quiso matar a su madre un domingo de junio, a primera hora de la tarde. Años después, esa escena se le presenta a la autora tan diáfanamente cruel como el día en que la vivió. Como en tantas otras familias, sus padres, que se odian entre sí, adoran en cambio a la niña, por lo que, mientras pasan los días y el olvido invade el hogar, el recuerdo de aquel domingo parece convertirse en un mal sueño. Sin embargo, esa escena cambió para siempre a la autora: aquella niña y su familia «habían dejado de ser gente decente», y todo había pasado a ser vergonzoso. Annie Ernaux recorre desde los códigos de conducta y las normas sociales que imperaban en su entorno, hasta las noticias del momento, las expresiones más usadas o el temor que infundían las grandes ciudades, para calibrar con exactitud hasta qué punto lo ocurrido la hizo sentirse indigna. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A family scene, and its disturbing consequences, examined by the author who has made her own life the substance of her literature. In 1952, when Annie Ernaux was twelve years old, her father tried to kill her mother one Sunday afternoon in June. Years later, that scene appears to the author with the same stark cruelty as on the day she lived through it. As in so many families, her parents, who hate each other, instead adore their daughter, and as the days pass and forgetting settles into the home, the memory of that Sunday seems to fade into a bad dream. Yet that moment changed the author forever: that child and her family «had ceased to be decent people», and everything had become a source of shame. Annie Ernaux revisits the codes of behaviour and social norms that governed her world, as well as the news of the time, common expressions, and the fear inspired by big cities, to measure precisely how deeply what happened made her feel unworthy.
