Writer Édouard Louis: Who Gets to Escape?
“The will of escaping is such a universal condition.” French writer Èdouard Louis shares how his brother's death turned into his latest novel, how class shapes possibilities and the importance of understanding what you hate. Èdouard Louis’ brother is 38 when he dies. Louis describes his sibling as an alcoholic, and someone he hadn’t seen in 10 years: “I didn’t want to see him anymore. I didn’t want to talk to him. He was a very violent person,” Louis says frankly.
