Histoire de la Violence, par Édouard Louis

I was extremely impressed by this book. I've admired Édouard Louis ever since I read Pour en Finir avec Eddy Bellegueule, and I have followed his articles, and I admire his clear mind and his political engagement, so rare among young people today. I loved the issue of Les Inrockuptibles he edited. I don't always agree with him, but he's a remarkable young man, and he writes beautifully, in a strong tone, so unlike the melancholic nostalgic one that I feel it predominates in French literature, but with a strength and enthusiasm reminiscent of Romain Gary or Hervé Guibert. I really highly recommend his books, and am looking forward to read his last one.
