Who Killed My Father | 
pickIn his last book Édouard Louis focuses on his father's story. Writing about his father life, Louis writes about his family, his identity and mostly about lower working class in France. Édouard Louis is without doubt one of the most interesting voices of the Contemporary French Literature! Don't miss out.
pickRevolutionary! A book of our times! You can read this in one sitting, just under 100 pages but it will make you think differently and think bravely. At the heart of this book, or novella, or essay, if you will, is not only about activism but that sense of not forgetting - of the acts of leaders, politicians, authorities that one way or another contributed to the detriment and misery of their people, their constituents. Highly recommended!👏🙏
pickIf you‘ve never read Edouard Louis, go out and get his books. His writing is powerful and thought provoking. He makes you look straight at people, places that we don‘t always “see” or respect. He should be considered a national treasure in France and he‘s only 26.
pickWOW. I finished this book in less than an hour, but it hit me so hard. Knowing Louis‘s reputation, I thought I was going to read something powerful and profound, but I had no idea how much more than that this would be. Don‘t read the descriptions. Let yourself be surprised.
pickLouis returns to his dreary home in France to visit his dying father, who is barely fifty, and it's truly haunting. A highly critical essay and a poignant interweaving of a heartbreaking story of father and son, sociology, and intense political criticism. It goes far in such a short essay, managing to tackle class wars, homophobia, and more. Heartbreaking and extremely touching at the same time, Louis has hit a new high with this.
