But from childhood, he was different--\"girlish,\" intellectually precocious, and attracted to other men. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlready translated into twenty-nine languages, \u003ci\u003eThe End of Eddy\u003c\/i\u003e 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,  douard 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e ﾉdouard Louis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250619270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250619273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"ﾉdouard Louis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049489068287,"sku":"9781250619273","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_021c0373-32e8-451b-8929-85c2c700c4b3.jpg?v=1685001791","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-end-of-eddy-douard-louis-9781250619273","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
