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, Édouard 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.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Picador","offers":[{"title":"End of Eddy | Édouard Louis | Paperback | 9781250619273 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1729668 (temp: 1)","offer_id":48167698759832,"sku":"1729668","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71biDx66owL.jpg?v=1771953145","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/end-of-eddy","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
