About the Author
Édouard Louis is a French author and intellectual whose unflinching narratives explore the intersections of class, sexuality, and power in contemporary society. Born in a working-class family in northern France, Louis draws from his own experiences of poverty, homophobia, and social exclusion to craft stories that challenge societal norms and illuminate the lives of marginalized individuals. His debut novel, The End of Eddy, brought him international acclaim for its raw autobiographical intensity, and subsequent works like History of Violence and Who Killed My Father have solidified his reputation as a vital voice in modern literature. With Change: A Novel, Louis continues to dissect personal and political transformations, blending memoir and fiction to provoke empathy and critique.
