This is the third book af Eduard Louis and my third book of his that i have read. Once agrecomendmazing book! Raw, direct and extreamly true. I absolutly adore the authors writing and story telling. This book is not a single story but an over view of Eduard fathers fathers life, his relationship with his father and the reason for his fathersnd to an extent the "end" of his life.  No mater your relationship with your own father, you can feel for Eduard, his father and your younger selfe that mabye did have similar dificultise but also similar family dinamics. I also recomend readnig all of Eduard Louis books in french or in your naivite language to make the story more personal. 

This book is for you if you like Eduard Louis previous works, like to read emotional biographys and are intresetd in social isusse/politics. I will recomend this book to all my friends!

Après avoir lu En finir avec Eddy Bellegueule, je croyais savoir tout d'Édouard Louis. Mais Qui a tué mon père sert bien comme accompaniment à ce livre, ainsi qu'un bon livre tout seul. Décrivant le rapprochement échoué entre Louis et son père, Qui a tué mon père n'est pas une question. Louis accuse le gouvernement de la France et l'établissement libéral d'avoir forcé son père à bosser constamment, même après sa blessure. Il accuse également les croyances de la masculinité toxique qui influent sur l'homophobie et le classisme vécus par Louis pendant son enfance. Avec beaucoup de force, Louis met l'accent sur la violence ; non la violence avec des poings, mais celle véhiculée par les lois et les malentendus des politiques.
