Abstract
Abstract: This article examines the representation of abortion in two autobiographical texts: Annie Ernaux’s L’événement (2000) and Line Papin’s Une vie possible (2022). Analyzing their use of punctuation, particularly parentheses and ellipses, it argues that Papin inherits an aesthetics of hesitation from Ernaux, an aesthetics that allows both writers to make space for others’ experiences of abortion.
