Fantastic discussion, Jorge. Ernaux is great and your comparisons to Modiano made me want to finally read him as well. Loved that last quote too!

Thank you so much, Sean! I am a huge Modiano fan. I recommend Out of the Dark as a starting point; In the Café of Lost Youth and Missing Person are also excellent. While some might argue there's a bit of an excess right now of this mode of writing (Knausgaard, Zambra...), I enjoy it immensely. Have a great evening, and thank you so much for recommending my channel!
