As a young homosexual who grew up in the forgotten working class in the industrial north of France, Édouard Louis knows better than anyone what poverty and exclusion does to people.
In his autobiographical account Change: method, the author tells his own story, his odyssey, in a ruthless way. Here the personal is made political in a unique way, as only great literature can do.
Louis’ passionate and committed work proves that he is one of the leading writers of his generation. His books are adapted for the stage by famous directors. In Arminius he talks to Ernest van der Kwast about his new novel.
Édouard Louis made his debut at the age of 21 with the autobiographical bestseller The End of Eddy (2014), with which he became world famous in one fell swoop. His subsequent titles, History of Violence (2016), They Murdered My Father (2018) and A Woman’s Struggle and Metamorphosis (2021) are also receiving worldwide attention.
