Babamın Yeri
Ernaux’s father passes away two months after her daughter takes the teaching exams. Following his death, the author examines her father’s transition from manual labor to small business ownership, his social standing, and her relationship with him. The words on the page depict not dramatic memories, but rather a ‘class’ story narrated through a portrait. Babamın Yeri is a text that delves into the ‘place’ of a man in both society and his daughter’s eyes. Ernaux’s writing style in Babamın Yeri is known for its clarity and fluidity, effectively conveying events to the reader. If you haven’t read any of Ernaux’s books before, I recommend giving them a chance.
