WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE 2022 Translated by Anna MoschovakisMore Magazine, Top Ten of 2008 "The strangest thing about jealousy is that it can populate an entire city-the whole world-with a person you may never have met." These first words set the framework for The Possession, a striking portrait of a woman after a love affair has ended. Annie Ernaux pulls the reader through every step of jealousy, of a woman's need to know who has replaced her in a lost beloved's life. Ernaux's writing, characteristically gorgeous in its precision, depicts the all too familiar human tendency to seek control and certainty after rejection."
