by Édouard Louis (Author), Lorin Stein (Translator)
A gripping autobiographical novel from literary sensation Édouard Louis, "both brave and ambitious in its determination never to let its reader, or its author, escape lightly the damaging realities it describes" (The Observer).
On Christmas Eve 2012, in Paris, Édouard Louis was raped and almost murdered by a man he had just met. This act of violence left Louis shattered; its aftermath made him a stranger to himself and sent him back to the village, the family, and the past he had sworn to leave behind.
