Annie Ernaux Quote: “I expect nothing from Psychoanalysis or therapy, whose rudimentary conclusions became clear to me a long time ago – a domineering mother, a father whose submissiveness is shattered by a murderous gesture... To state “it’s a childhood trauma” or “that day the idols were knocked off their pedestal” does nothing to explain a scene which could only be conveyed by the expression that came to me at the time: to breathe disaster. Here abstract speech fails to reach me.”
