Nolan, Michael, ’Party Time’ and ’The Third Space’:a study of AnnieErnaux’s’Cleaned Out’. [Diss.] –Belfast :Queen’s University Belfast, 2022Thus, her stall is set. Simple Passion is a slim volume. It is an extremely immediate, deceptively simple book. In it, Ernaux charts a two-year passionate love affair with a married man; notes her behaviours, analyses the effects. She lays it all out with the cool detachment of science, or of pornography; these are the raw facts of her all-consuming passion, the reality of having lived her life entirely in thrall to another. In it she captures the state of waiting, the tortures of passivity, the thin addictiveness of life lived on hope.
