Who Killed My Father by Édouard Louis

challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad tense fast-paced

4.0

Really interesting read, challenging for sure to see the violence of the authors parents, primarily his father, depicted in such detail. Really makes you think about familial relationships and love and how deep that might go. I also didn’t (still don’t) know much about classism within France. Makes you think about how it can not only effect someone but shape who they are and become, how much works against the lower class from the very start of their lives, even deeper than the struggle that most people know and assume. How politicians aren’t held accountable for the direct pain and suffering they cause.
