Reviews
"A testament to the persistent, haunting, and melancholy quality of memory." - New York Times "As always, Ernaux's marriage of opposites--disgust and adoration, revulsion and emulation, dirt-physical and heady-theoretical--takes place on the whitest of pages. Ernaux's opposites rip her in two in spite of her spare languages. ... [Her] art is in her fight with words." - Los Angeles Times "Ernaux courageously bears witness both to complex multiple truths of family relationships and to the fierce persistence of family love." - Washington Post Book World "Again blurring the line between memoir and fiction, Ernaux continues the story of her family in journal form ... Several recurring themes are woven throughout, notably those of time, art and the relationship between mother and daughter. Like Ernaux's other work ( Shame ; Simple Passion ), this is "not literature" exactly, but "an attempt to salvage part of our lives, to understand, but first to salvage," poignant though limited in its reach." - Publishers Weekly

Synopsis
In the summer of 1983, Annie Ernaux's mother fell ill and stopped eating and drinking for several days. Her memory started to lapse and later the same year she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. This collection of relentlessly honest journal entries tracies the descent of Ernaux's mother into the depths of disease and reveals the author's own complex feelings of guilt and responsibility. Profoundly self-revealing, it is a work that will provide readers with insight into their own questions of loss and grief., Washington Post Top Memoir of 1999 An extraordinary evocation of a grown daughter's attachment to her mother, and of both women's strength and resiliency. "I Remain in Darkness" recounts Annie's attempts first to help her mother recover from Alzheimer's disease, and then, when that proves futile, to bear witness to the older woman's gradual decline and her own experience as a daughter losing a beloved parent. "I Remain in Darkness" is a new high water mark for Ernaux, surging with raw emotional power and her sublime ability to use language to apprehend her own life's particular music., WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE An extraordinary evocation of a grown daughter's attachment to her mother, and of both women's strength and resiliency. I Remain in Darkness recounts Annie's attempts first to help her mother recover from Alzheimer's disease, and then, when that proves futile, to bear witness to the older woman's gradual decline and her own experience as a daughter losing a beloved parent.
