Very real and very heartbreaking. Interesting to read about a traumatic childhood from a sociologic perspective, some interesting insights. The author went through so much, and does a very good job articulating how he may have felt. His words are clearly his weapons.

I have seen the author compared to Ernaux, and I can see why. A troubling account of poverty, bullying, and homophobia from a narrator whose conflict with social and gender roles in his family and village provided him with a self aware analytical gaze on social behaviours and class patterns. However, none of it felt as novel and thought provoking as I expected, given that this book was all rage when it came out. The writing is unremarkable, which feels almost rude to write, but remains important to me as a reader. The story matters, but is banal - arguably, that is why it does.
