Imagine what happens described Edouard Louis in the early end of 1990 beginning of 2000 is particularly confusing. Poverty exists since the beginning of time but that description of what should be a man and the secondary role of the woman beside him is quite uplifting and seems of another age. The author evokes the difficulties of living in a disadvantaged social class, all the more that it nincarne not expected manhood by his effeminate manners and high-pitched voice. He will be insulted as "homosexual" (among others) from the college and will be beaten and humiliated for two years without telling anyone by two other college students. It will then attempt to fight against his attraction to boys and even think "cured" (!!) at a time of his homosexuality, which became for him by what his family and his entourage will make him feel something dirty and shameful. The scenes are often raw, realistic and shocking but especially due to he fact that comes dun autobiography. Poverty, alcoholism, violence is like a vicious circle that does not even extricate themselves by ignorance of the fact that there is other ways of life.
