Shame arises in her like a plague: understanding that her pregnancy will mark her and her family as social failures, she knows she cannot keep that child. This is the story, written forty years later, of a trauma Ernaux never overcame. In a France where abortion was illegal, she attempted, in vain, to self-administer the abortion with a knitting needle. Fearful and desperate, she finally located an abortionist, and ends up in a hospital emergency ward where she nearly dies. In \u003cem\u003eHappening\u003c\/em\u003e, Ernaux sifts through her memories and her journal entries dating from those days. Clearly, cleanly, she gleans the meanings of her experience.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fitzcarraldo Editions","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44932834656407,"sku":"9781804270530","price":769.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781804270530.webp?v=1769198345","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/happening-winner-of-the-2022-nobel-prize-in-literature-9781804270530","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
