In her dissertation entitled "The Years by Annie Ernaux: from the individual to the collective", the student Marine Mugnier spoke of the writing of a "transpersonal" narrative, in which Annie Ernaux distances her own experience through the limited use of The pronouns that are predominantly used are and "one" to emphasize her literary endeavor, that of an autosociobiography, in which the reader follows the evolution of a woman in "the reality of a society that follows evolutions" (Mugnier p.37).
