Annie Ernaux’s The Years is written as one long and, to borrow a phrase the author uses to describe her own memoir, ‘unremitting’ stretch of prose. It does not contain a table of contents and is not divided into chapters, sections, or parts. Instead, the only dividing elements of Ernaux’s prose are the paragraph breaks she employs frequently, jumping from thought to thought and subject to subject both within a paragraph and between paragraphs.
