The book that launched the author to fame, The Place, unpublished in Brazil, lays the foundations for the literary project that Ernaux would carry forward for three decades of critical acclaim and public success. In this autobiography, one of the most important living writers in France delves into her own father's life to examine family and class relations, in a mix of personal history and sociology that decades later would serve as a declared inspiration to exponents of world autofiction and great names in French literature such as Édouard Louis and Didier Eribon. The result is a deeply human and original modern classic.
