i have this kind of hubris where when a writer is hyped enough i just assume they’re mid & ernaux was one of those until i read literally the first page of simple passion… it’s her recounting an affair she had with a married man that had wholly consumed her every moment & it’s a very quick read & it is soo beautiful & sooo poignant & shockingly relatable
