This year's Nobel laureate for literature was the practically unknown French writer Annie Ernaux. As the author of several autobiographical novels, Annie Ernaux, who is 82 years old this year, is hardly known even in France, if you ask the person on the street, it is almost certain that they have not heard of her. This in itself would obviously not be a problem, since a completely unknown author, even a first and only book author, can be excellent and worthy of any literary award. But it seems that the Stockholm Nobel prize awarding committee was not bothered last Thursday either by the fact that Annie Ernaux holds extreme feminist, exclusionary, and radical left-wing views, nor by the fact that, as an active supporter of openly anti-Semitic and anti-Israel movements, she can also be associated with terrorist organizations.
Anyone who knows Annie Ernaux in France remembers two things about her. One of the things for which he became known rather than his literary activity is that he is considered a long-time and vocal supporter of the far-left Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who performed alarmingly well in the presidential elections of the Republic. Therefore, it should not come as a surprise that, in addition to her (extremely) feminist views and writings, Annie Ernaux is an inveterate anti-Semite, and she does not hide it. In connection with this, there is a huge public scandal unfolding in France, Israeli intellectuals have protested, but at the same time, the majority, left-wing media sources are doing everything to keep the matter silent and glorify Annie Ernaux.

HE REMEMBERED THAT IN MAY 2019 ERNAUX TOGETHER WITH MORE THAN 100 OTHER (FAR LEFT AND LEFT) FRENCH ARTISTS SIGNED A LETTER PUBLISHED ON THE FAR LEFT "MEDIAPART" INTERNET PLATFORM, IN WHICH THEY BOYCOTTED THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST TO BE HELD IN TEL AVIV.
Incidentally, one of Ernaux's best-known scandals was when he openly supported the notorious Jew-hater Houria Bouteldja of France-Algeria in the left-wing daily "Le Monde". Bouteldja, the spokesman for the far-left, neo-colonialist and anti-Israel movement called "Slaves of the Republic", has close ties to anti-white, decolonization and Palestinian liberation movements.
As for Ernaux's writing, it is worth recalling the short summary of the ridiculous Nobel Prize by Frédéric Beigbeder, an extremely popular and truly significant French writer and literary historian, which was published in Le Figaro:
For half a century, Annie Ernaux did nothing but write one after the other about her father, her mother, her lover, her abortion, her mother's illness, her grief, and the mall she visited.

There are already bookstores in France that do not sell Ernaux's books, as one window states:
there is no need to waste your time looking for Annie Ernaux's "books" with us, we do not sell books by anti-Semites, hysterical feminists, racists or woke-ists...
