This year’s Nobel Prize in literature is awarded to French author Annie Ernaux.
Ernaux, 82, is cited for “the courage and clinical acuity with which she uncovers the roots, estrangements and collective restraints of personal memory,” the Nobel committee says.
Mats Malm, permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, announces the winner in Stockholm, Sweden.
