Summary:
"'Getting Lost is the diary
Annie
Ernaux
' kept during the year and a half she had a secret love affair with a younger, married man, a Russian diplomat. Her novel, 'Simple Passion,' was based on this affair, but here her writing is immediate, unfiltered. In these diaries it is 1989 and
Annie
is divorced with two grown sons, living outside of Paris and nearing fifty. Her lover escapes the city to see her there and
Ernaux
seems to survive only in expectation of these encounters, saying "his desire for me is theonly thing I can be sure of." She cannot write, she trudges distractedly through her various other commitments in the world, she awaits his next call; she lives only to feel desire and for the next rendezvous. When he is gone and the desire has faded, shefeels that she is a step closer to death. Lauded for her spare prose,
Ernaux
here removes all artifice, her writing pared down to its most naked and vulnerable. Getting Lost is as strong a book as any that she has written, a haunting, desperate view of strong and successful woman who seduces a man only to lose herself in love and desire."--From publisher.
