Writing is a Knife by Anne Erno Publisher: Shanghai People's Publishing House

Introduction
---Editor's Recommendation---
* Sincerely reveal personal experience and the formation of literary style
* An introductory book on getting close to Nobel Prize winners
There was no emotional charge in publishing this book, nor the romance that women writers expect. My book was accused of being "obscene." Such contempt and insult only tempered me.
—Anne Erno
I like sentences that don't lie. Erno's sentences cut through the flesh, peel off the skin, and are as sharp as a knife.
—Frédéric-Yves JENET
---Brief Introduction---
“I put something hard, heavy, even violent into literature. They are related to life situations, to the language of the world I lived in before I was eighteen, to a world of workers and peasants. They are always real things. I think that in my case, as a class crosser, writing is the best thing I can do, a political act, and a gift.”
For nearly a year, the writer Frédéric-Yves Genet asked Anne Erno questions at irregular intervals. In these answers, the author tried to explain her writing practice that began thirty years ago, describe her working methods, and explain the "purpose" of her texts. This book is very worth reading and is touching because it refuses fiction and does rigorous and progressive work on life experience. This book helps ordinary readers understand Erno's own experience and writing characteristics, and is also an important reference for literary researchers.
