To throuple with two icons–no, that’s too simple. But this work, like all of Ernaux’s work, feels profoundly generous, an invitation into the most intimate enclave formed at the intersection of passion, memory, love, and death. Conceptually fascinating and artistically surprising, moving, hopeful, and brilliant.
