French Author Annie Ernaux Wins 2022 Nobel Prize for Literature
---------------------------------------------------------------

The French writer Annie Ernaux has won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
The Nobel Committee cited Ernaux for the "courage and clinical acuity
with which she uncovers the roots, estrangements and collective
restraints of personal memory." Her books include "Happening," about a
young woman student who has an abortion. Last year it was made into an
award-winning film. On Friday, the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize will
be announced.
