How can the words of a writer become a mirror for a new generation? Claire Simon enters classrooms across France and French Guiana, where high school students read and discuss the works of Nobel Prize-winning author Annie Ernaux. Through conversations on class, family, gender, memory and the body, Ernaux’s auto-socio-biography writing approach inspires young people to reflect on their own experiences and social realities. With an intimate observational approach, Simon transforms the classroom into a space where literature, identity and self-discovery meet.
