Le sujet du livre est intéressant, c'est un peu le miroir social de la pauvreté et le portrait d'un jeune garçon qui lutte avec son identité, mais c'est vraiment dur à lire (j'ai sauté quelques paragraphes parce que les faits racontés étaient trop insoutenables pour moi => lisez les trigger warning avant de commencer ce livre)

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.
