"One might almost say they are posing for a photo that will not stop being taken." (112)
There are no proper chapters in Annie Ernaux's The Years, only spaces that fall into place after a run of paragraphs. Instead of numerical, bold-titled chapter breaks to set off her sections, Ernaux uses descriptions of photographs and, in the early 1970s, 8mm films (see quote above) her husband shot ("It is always he who does the filming").
