STOCKHOLM - French author Annie Ernaux was awarded this year's Nobel Prize in literature for "the courage and clinical acuity with which she uncovers the roots, estrangements and collective restraints of personal memory," the Swedish Academy said Thursday.Ernaux, 82, started out writing autobiographical novels, but quickly abandoned fiction in favor of memoirs.Her more than 20 books, most of them very short, chronicle events in her life and the lives of those around her. They present uncompromising portraits of sexual encounters, abortion, illness and the deaths of her parents.Anders Olsson, chairman, Nobel Committee for literature, said Ernaux's work was often "uncompromising and written in plain language, scraped clean.""She has achieved something admirable and enduring," he told reporters after the announcement in Stockholm, Sweden.FILE - Portrait of Annie Ernaux, Torino, Italy, May 21, 2022.
