    "description": "A revelatory meditation on class and consumer culture, from 2022 Nobel laureate Annie Ernaux\n  \nFor half a century, the French writer Annie Ernaux has transgressed the boundaries of what stories are considered worth telling, what subjects worth exploring. In this probing meditation, Ernaux turns her attention to the phenomenon of the big-box superstore, a ubiquitous feature of modern life that has received scant attention in literature.\n \nRecording her visits to a store near Paris for over a year, she captures the world that exists within its massive walls. Through Ernaux\u2019s eyes, the superstore emerges as \u201ca great human meeting place, a spectacle\u201d\u2015a flashy, technologically advanced incarnation of the ancient marketplace where capitalism, cultural production, and class converge, dictating our rhythms of desire. With her relentless powers of observation, Ernaux takes the measure of a place we thought we knew, calling us to question the experiences we overlook and to gaze more deeply into ordinary life.",
