El porvenir de la literatura. Patrick Modiano

Sucede también que un escritor del siglo XX se siente a veces apresado en su tiempo y que la lectura de los grandes novelistas del XIX -Balzac, Dickens, Tolstoi, Dostoievski- le infunde cierta nostalgia. En aquella época el tiempo fluía de forma más lenta que hoy, y esa lentitud estaba más a tono con el trabajo del novelista porque podía concentrar mejor la energía y la atención. Luego, el tiempo…

I’ve read one of your post recently and you were mentioning Annie Ernaux’s Les Années, and so I was wondering what you thought of her getting the Nobel Prize for Literature this year? Kinda curious if I should give her a go :)

She is so unworthy of a Nobel !! I enjoyed Les Années and La Femme gelée but the rest of her books range from “meh, ok” (Les Armoires vides, La Place) to banal navel-gazing (Passion simple, Mémoire de fille). She tends to rehash the same stuff in book after book—not just the themes and specific memories and scenes but phrasings as well; if you read all of her books in quick succession you'll notice the same phrases and descriptions popping up in different books and it's like mate, you've already used similar words to tell a similar story, why did this warrant a new book...?

(She writes about the same childhood memories in the same way in three or four different books, but the worst example of rehashing is Se perdre. Her book Passion simple is a shortened and very slightly re-written diary she kept while having a humiliatingly one-sided ‘passionate’ affair with some guy who didn’t care about her—and a few years later she published Se perdre which is the actual (nearly 400-page!) diary she’d used as the basis for Passion simple, without shortening or revising it this time. And it’s like... you’ve now published your diary TWICE, and your affair with a married guy who’s a selfish arsehole really wasn’t a new or interesting story to begin with...)

All in all I don't think her body of work brings something significant and unique to world literature and I'm baffled by this decision. Then again Modiano and Le Clézio didn't deserve the Nobel either so I’m not sure how it works. I heard that Houellebecq was considered this year and that was a horrifying prospect, I loathe him and his writing. Plus he's a man and I personally think the Nobel for Literature should be given only to women writers for the next 85 years so we can reach a laureate ratio that's less grotesquely imbalanced than 17 women vs. 102 men.

(But that’s not an excuse for giving it to Annie Ernaux.)
