'A brilliant novel... courageous, necessary and deeply touching'
Guardian Edouard Louis grew up in a village in northern France
where many live below the poverty line. His bestselling debut novel
about life there, The End of Eddy, has sparked debate on social
inequality, sexuality and violence. It is an extraordinary portrait
of escaping from an unbearable childhood, inspired by the author's
own. Written with an openness and compassionate intelligence,
ultimately, it asks, how can we create our own freedom? 'A
mesmerising story about difference and adolescence' New York Times
'Edouard Louis...is that relatively rare thing - a novelist with
something to say and a willingness to say it, without holding back'
The Times 'Louis' book has become the subject of political
discussion in a way that novels rarely do' Garth Greenwell, New
Yorker
Who Killed My Father is the story of a tough guy - the story of the
little boy I never was. The story of my father. 'What a beautiful
book' MAX PORTER In Who Killed My Father, Edouard Louis explores
key moments in his father's life, and the tenderness and
disconnects in their relationship. Told with the fire of a writer
determined on social justice, and with the compassion of a loving
son, the book urgently and brilliantly engages with issues
surrounding masculinity, class, homophobia, shame and social
poverty. It unflinchingly takes aim at systems that disadvantage
those they seek to exclude - those who have their expectations,
hopes and passions crushed by a society which gives them little
thought. 'Edouard Louis is the vanguard of France's new generation
of political writers' Evening Standard
'Edouard Louis is one of the most important literary voices of his
generation' Guardian Everything started with a photo. To see her
free, hurtling fulsomely towards the future, made me think back to
the life she shared with my father. Seeing the photo reminded me
that those twenty years of devastation were not anything natural
but were the result of external forces - society, masculinity, my
father - and that things could have been otherwise. One day,
Edouard Louis finds a photograph of his mother from twenty years
ago. A picture of a happy young woman, full of hopes and dreams.
Growing up, Edouard only knew his mother's sadness, as she found
herself trapped in the humdrum life of a housewife, and her
struggles against the dominant world of men. What happened in those
years since the photo was taken? Then, at the age of forty-five,
his mother frees herself from this oppression. She leaves her
husband and her old life behind, to start a new one in Paris. A
Woman's Battles and Transformations is Edouard Louis's most tender
book yet. It reckons with the cruel systems that govern our lives,
with politics and power - and with the possibility of escape. It is
an exquisite and loving portrait of a mother, and an honouring of
her self-discovery and liberation as she chooses to live on her own
terms. Translated from the French by Tash Aw
