Story
Already translated into twenty languages, The End of Eddy captures the violence and desperation of life in a French factory town. It is also a sensitive, universal portrait of boyhood and sexual awakening. Like Karl Ove Knausgaard or Edmund White, Édouard Louis writes from his own undisguised experience, but he writes with an openness and a compassionate intelligence that are all his own. The result - a critical and popular triumph - has made him the most celebrated French writer of his generation.

Masochistic with a brief light ending
Reviewed: 06-29-23
I can attest to the reality of the experience that the author describes, however, there is a perseveration on some of the masochistic element for the majority of the text. It’s only until the end we’re in one sees a sense of light, and then pass it is self facing.
