French Writer Annie Ernaux Awarded Nobel Prize In Literature

Stockholm: The 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded to the French author Annie Ernaux “for the courage and clinical acuity with which she uncovers the roots, estrangements and collective restraints of personal memory”, the Nobel committee said on Thursday

Annie Ernaux was born in 1940 and grew up in the small town of Yvetot in Normandy, where her parents had a combined grocery store and café. Her path to authorship was long and arduous, it tweeted.

Three scientists jointly won the prize in physics on Tuesday for their ‘experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information of science’ while Svante Pääbo won the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine “for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution” on Monday.
