Description
This novel sensation from France describes with extraordinary openness and rawness the author's painful childhood, marked by a socially and culturally limited environment of the poor northern French countryside, as well as his gradually revealed homosexuality. Louis's remarkable debut has received an incredible response since its release: the book by the then twenty-two-year-old student sold over 300,000 copies in France alone and has already been translated into more than twenty languages. It has sparked a heated debate on both the French and international scene as a literary experiment straddling the line between artistic text and documentary, but also due to the questions it raises: How to escape the trap of one's social environment? How to deal with one's sexual orientation? How to achieve freedom? Just as the theme of the book is captivating, so is the masterful way it is presented.
