An autobiographical novel from Édouard Louis, hailed as one of the most important voices of his generation--about social class, transformation, and the perils of leaving the past behind.
One question took center stage in my life, it focused all of my thoughts and occupied every moment when I was alone with myself: how could I get this revenge, by what means? I tried everything.
Advance Praise
"With frank prose and staggering insights, Louis makes the story of his metamorphosis feel vital and alive. This is irresistible."
