中文简介：

这部作品是Annie Ernaux在1941年至2006年期间的个人叙述，通过记忆的镜头讲述对过去和现在的印象——甚至是对未来的预测——照片、书籍、歌曲、广播、电视和几十年的广告、头条新闻。

地方方言、时代词汇、口号、品牌和不断增加的物品的名称，在这里都有了声音。我们所认识到的作者的声音不断地消解和重新出现。Ernaux让时间的流逝变得清晰可感。时间本身是不可阻挡的，它叙述着自己的历程，将所有其他叙述者置于匿名状态。一种新的自传形式出现了，既是主观的又是非个人的，既是私人的又是集体的。《悠悠岁月》在许多方面都是一种背离：既是整代人“撰写”的亲密回忆录，又是几代人讲述的“私人故事”。

英文简介：

The Years is a personal narrative of the period 1941 to 2006 told through the lens of memory, impressions past and present—even projections into the future—photos, books, songs, radio, television and decades of advertising, headlines, contrasted with intimate conflicts and writing notes from 6 decades of diaries.

Local dialect, words of the times, slogans, brands and names for the ever-proliferating objects, are given voice here. The voice we recognize as the author's continually dissolves and re-emerges. Ernaux makes the passage of time palpable. Time itself, inexorable, narrates its own course, consigning all other narrators to anonymity. A new kind of autobiography emerges, at once subjective and impersonal, private and collective.
