Description
The story of my father is also the story of who I never was. In "Who Killed My Father", Édouard Louis recounts key moments in his father's life, revealing the tenderness and disconnects that defined their relationship. Through this powerful exploration, Louis sheds light on issues surrounding masculinity, class, homophobia, shame, and social poverty. With unflinching honesty, he critiques systems that disadvantage those they seek to exclude, offering a searing indictment of societal expectations and the devastating consequences for individuals who fail to meet them. Written with the fire of a writer determined on social justice and the compassion of a loving son, "Who Killed My Father" is a urgent and brilliant work that urgently engages with some of the most pressing issues of our time.
