<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Taking the form of random journal entries over seven years, Exteriors captures the feeling of contemporary living on the outskirts of Paris. Poignantly lyrical, chaotic, and strangely alive.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>Exteriors</i> is honest, genuine and skillfully executed." <i><b>-Columbus Dispatch</b></i> <p/> <br>"Ernaux's writings walk a tightrope between art and confession, immersing us in a territory bounded on one side by commitment and on the other by desire." <i><b>-Newsday</b></i> <p/> <br>"<i>Journal du dehors</i> (<i>Exteriors</i>) is the opposite of an intimate diary. It shows a woman observing, without scorn or pity, the world out of which she came . . . . It is the text of a writer for whom the text is, simultaneously, interiority and provocation."<i><b> -Telerama</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Born in 1940, ANNIE ERNAUX grew up in Normandy, studied at Rouen University, and began teaching high school.
