Abstract

This paper deals with the presence of photography in Annie Ernaux's Les Années. It analyses its narrative structure, taking as a reference the family album as a model for its narrative. Unlike other works by the author, where images indeed appear, Les Années is a 'narrative with photographs without photographs', where the images described have to be imagined by the reader.
