The story of Edward Louis, formerly Bellegueule Eddy is a true modern tragedy. In a breathtaking sincerity, this young adult tells a cruel childhood and adolescence, in the heart of the Picardy misery with a factual coldness and detachment sociologist he aspires to become. His story is the story of the Heirs of Bourdieu, in a family worthy of Zola, with the affect of cold Kressmann Taylor. A book to read, and read again to offer. To know. To know. A way of acting per se.
