SUMMARY:Il Circolo Bookclub Mondo Nuovo | "Memoria di ragazza" by Annie Ern
 aux
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n Join Il Circolo Bookclub – Mondo Nuovo\, our Italia
 n book club\, for an online discussion of "Memoria di ragazza" by Annie Er
 naux\, with Olga Campofreda.\nSummer 1958. Away from her family for the fi
 rst time\, working as a youth leader at a summer camp\, an eighteen-year-o
 ld girl discovers herself: love\, sex\, the judgement of others\, the stru
 ggles of youth\, and the thirst for freedom.\n\nBetween the light of the p
 hotographs from that time and the darkness of repressed memories\, Annie E
 rnaux relives the transitional age that transformed her into a woman and a
  writer\, reflecting on the thoughts\, expectations and hesitations (not t
 o mention the eating disorders and anxieties about fertility) of the ‘gi
 rl of ’58’.\n\nIn pages brimming with anxieties and secret sorrows\, o
 verflowing with bursts of passion and songs – the ‘Esperanto of love
 ’ – it is the shame of the past that gives rise to memory\, revealing 
 itself as an unexpected gift\, an indispensable weapon in that ‘struggle
  with reality’ which lies at the heart of Ernaux’s literary endeavour.
 \n\n*Memoir of a Girl*\, a powerful reflection on writing and on a crucial
  phase of life\, is the forbidden and unmentionable book that the author h
 as pursued throughout her life.\nNon-members are very welcome to register 
 below.\n\n\n\n\n
