Today Im really gonna be a tough guy. Growing up in a poor village in northern France, all Eddy Bellegueule wanted was to be a man in the eyes of his family and neighbors. But from childhood, he was different-girlish, intellectually precocious, and attracted to other men.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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52342544761120,"sku":"USED0374266654","price":29.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61X0ok5IjZL_475c6230-d79a-42a0-a9ac-c309612eccaa.jpg?v=1789178802","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-end-of-eddy-a-novel-0374266654-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
