Neuware -'I will write to avenge my people.' It was as a youngwoman that Annie Ernaux first wrote these words in herdiary, giving a name to her purpose in life as a writer.She returns to them in her stirring defence of literatureand of political writing in her Nobel Lecture, deliveredin Stockholm on 7 December 2022. To write of her ownlife, she asserts, is to 'shatter the loneliness of experiencesendured and repressed'; to mine individual experience isto find collective emancipation. Ernaux's speech is a boldassertion of the capacity of writing to give people a senseof their own worth, and of one writer's commitment tobearing witness to life, its joys and its injustices.
