One of the most prominent contemporary writers invites us on a personal stroll through the past he has come to terms with in his autobiographical novels. Class, culture, sexuality, identity, and education: Édouard Louis speaks from experience. Along the way, he talks about everything from class struggle, masculinity, shame, and identity to questions about how to talk, smile, and hold your knife and fork.
