In store now! Exteriors by Annie Ernaux
WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE
A thoroughly well deserved win for Ernaux, who for decades has chronicled the intensity, beauty, and mundanity of living in our contemporary, hyperconnected world. From motherhood, moving house and the facades of buildings, to the unspooling of a relationship over many years, Ernaux demands to be read. These beautiful translations by Fitzcarraldo Editions earned them their 4th Nobel Prize.

Exteriors by Annie Ernaux
Paperback £8.99
Taking the form of random journal entries over the course of seven years, Exteriors concentrates on the ephemeral encounters that take place just on the periphery of a person’s lived environment. Ernaux captures the feeling of contemporary living on the outskirts of Paris: poignantly lyrical, chaotic, and strangely alive. Exteriors is in many ways the most ecstatic of Ernaux’s books—the first in which she appears largely free of the haunting personal relationships she has written about so powerfully elsewhere, and the first in which she is able to leave the past behind her.

We are back open six days a week, with the whole store open for browsing. We will still of course be taking customer orders and you will still be able to buy food and cleaning products online through our online store.
We are able to be open 6 days a week again because of your consideration and care whilst in the shop. Though things are opening up, covid cases are still high and a lot of our staff have only received one jab. So we are asking customers to continue to leave that extra space, sanitise their hands and pull on their mask. We really appreciate it.
