An autobiographical novel about growing up gay in a working-class town in Picardy.“Every morning in the bathroom I would repeat the same phrase to myself over and over again . . . Today I’m really gonna be a tough guy.” Growing up in a poor village in northern France, all Eddy Bellegueule wanted was to be a man in the eyes of his family and neighbors. But from childhood, he was different―“girlish,” intellectually precocious, and attracted to other men.Already translated into twenty languages, The End of Eddy

Title: AGrimStoryThatRingsTrue

Review: Edourad Louis’ slim novel THE END OF EDDY starts off this way: “From my childhood I have no happy memories.” The next roughly-two hundred pages build on that first sentence. The narrator is Eddy Bellegueule-- that just happened to be the author’s last name until he changed it as an adult to “Louis.” We are fairly certain then from page one that this grim story is the author’s own. (He has said in interviews that everything in the novel is true.) As I read Eddie’s story I wondered how it played in Hallencourt, a small village of a thousand people in Northern France where Mr. Louis grew up, and what his parents think about the novel. Apparently not very much. A quote from the author’s mother who he says, along with most of his family, recently voted for Marine Le Pen: “It’s not right, what he’s done. He presents us like backward hicks.”Eddy, the narrator/author is an effeminate youngster who is constantly bullied at school, called names, and attacked physically. He fares little better at home where his parents ridicule him, his father in particular, who is an alcoholic and hates both blacks and Arabs. Ironically he does tell Eddy that he loves him. In addition to being ostracized for being a homosexual, Eddy, along with his parents as well, has to deal with poverty, oppression, violence and a life that will never get better, only worse. In a household where on one reads and “Wheel of Fortune” is never to be missed and the television is never off, Eddy is saved by books. I would argue that Eddy’s parents are more sinned against than sinning. In a strange way they reminded me of the people the Southern writer Rick Bragg writes about in his nonfiction book THE BEST THEY EVER HAD, Alabama mill-workers. Eddy's father works in a factory until he is injured and has to stop working. Sometimes the violence in this novel is overwhelming. I certainly did not need to read of Eddy’s grandmother’s dog story. His editor should have had Mr. Louis to tone this section down. You have to love the Greeks who had their violence take place off-stage.What makes this difficult novel worth reading in the end is that Eddy’s plight is the same as so many youngsters who are bullied because they are gay and takes on a universal element. (I thought of situations in my own life that had been buried for decades. I never heard the F word as a child but “sissy” got dropped a lot. We were the last ones to be picked for any neighborhood softball or other sports event. And we all tried so hard not to be different but to fit in.) And the novel certainly is a testament of the horrors of poverty and the effect it has on families.Mr. Louis is in his mid-twenties I believe. I read that he also has a second novel out. I will look forward to the English translation and see where the next one takes us.

Date: Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2017
Review: Through Eddy Bellegueule's desperate attempts, and eventual failure, to be the kind of tough guy that his family, classmates, and neighbors expect him to be, Edouard Louis provides a novel interpretation of failure as a means of salvation from violence, poverty and self-destruction. This autobiographical novel is chillingly prescient in the way it exposes the deep-seated racism, misogyny and homophobia that have become cultural cornerstones in poor communities which have found themselves economically and politically isolated in recent decades. And yet, through his extraordinary compassion, Louis is able to reveal how the people of his youth, even those who tormented him most, were themselves trapped by a cycle of violence imposed on them by the world outside their small village.

Title: NeedingtoGetAway
Date: Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2017
Review: The End of Eddy is a first-time novel by now twenty-four year old French writer Édouard Louis (2014; translated into English by Michael Lucey, 2017). The End of Eddy chronicles approximately five years in the life of a ten-year old awkward, lonely boy who does not fit in because of his effeminate mannerisms which cause him trouble both at home and at school. The novel is made extraordinary by the age of its author and his splendid, personal style of writing and by the fact that Louis tackles topics other than just Eddy’s individual coming out story.Eddy Bellegueule narrates the story of his childhood in a poor, working class, blue-collar family in rural Hallencourt within the Picardy region of northern France. It is a childhood from which he has “no happy memories” because “suffering is all-consuming: it somehow gets rid of anything that doesn’t fit into its system.”What begins as a typical coming of age/coming out story rapidly becomes much, much more. The book’s short chapters take on a very episodic nature, each constructing numerous, thoughtful revelations.Louis repeatedly focuses upon bullying (both its physical as well as emotional toll) and violence and how both are or can be a part of a family as well as a village’s tradition. The author spends a lot of time examining Eddy’s relationship with his father and his father’s own personal history since the father is representative of the masculine posture of nearly all of the working class males in the village.Eddy’s father’s life, like that of the other men in the village, is devoted to being manly… a trait most inherit from previous generations. Being “tough” is the most essential part of a man’s life. The more vulgar, the more violent, the more hard-nosed, the more slovenly, the more racist and sexist, the more liquor a man can consume, the better. Crucially, “a father reinforced his own masculine identity through his sons, to whom he was duty-bound to transmit his own virility,” and Eddy grows up knowing “my father was going to make me do it, make me into a tough guy, his pride as a man was at stake.” Eddy also readily admits, “All too soon I shattered the hopes and dreams of my father.”Equally important is that all males will “go straight from junior high to the factory and they spend their whole life in the village or they move a couple of towns over but never too far.” The “experiences that the people living in the village reproduced exactly from generation to generation, [along with] their resistance to change.” It isn’t just Eddy Bellegueule that suffers in rural Hallencourt, but because he is different from the others in his family and village, he appears to be the only one who realizes it. Every generation is a prisoner of the pervious generation’s values and economic status. There is no expectation or acceptance of being different from the norm.Males must be the bread-earners and the females subservient, ones who are expected to perform sexually at their spouse’s whim, have babies, and yet also be the ones who truly hold the family together; the ones who provide explanations to their children when no one else will. Any further aspirations a young woman might have are mocked and squelched by the society around her.Because gossip and bad mouthing of others runs rampant throughout the community, secrets are a part of every family and in every home, especially in the Bellegueule house, and conversations are replaced by the ever present, always playing television set. “Television was something, like language or the ways we dressed, which was just taken for granted.”Through vignette after vignette about his family, Eddy reveals the traits of life in rural France. There is never a feel of stereotyping and the characters are distinctly true to life as is their dialogue (frequently inserted in the middle of Eddy’s own musings)—so much so that readers quickly and seamlessly step into and are surrounded by Eddy’s world.As the reader becomes more and more absorbed in Eddy’s story, another thought comes to mind and it is an obvious, but unnerving realization: this is the France of the late 1990s to the early 2000s. Indeed, it could be rural America today. These are modern traditions, cultural beliefs, philosophies, and lifestyles which Édouard Louis is describing. Suddenly, the vote of rural Britain to exit the European Union and the rural vote of America that helped elect Donald Trump President begins to make harrowing sense. Not all people, not even the majority of people, live lives as do those in the suburbs and cities or like those with better educations, incomes, and aspirations. The End of Eddy is much like a time machine whisking readers back to the late 1880s.Sprinkled throughout all of the book’s revelations about life in rural, working class France and Eddy’s family are elements of Eddy’s increasing struggle with his sexual identity: the pains he suffers as well as the pains he goes to and the attempts he makes to deny the truth from himself through his interactions with others of both sexes, with heterosexual pornography, and most of all in his own head. The fact that Eddy’s journey begins at the age of ten makes his tale all the more heartbreaking.During the last chapters of The End of Eddy Louis focuses more upon his protagonist’s plight, returning the book to its roots as a coming out story. Unlike many gay coming out stories written and published in years past, Louis makes clear that it is Eddy’s differences, his sexual orientation, that helps him grow up to break with tradition. “Being attracted to boys transformed my whole relationship to the world, encouraging me to identify with values that were different from my family’s.” It is also a difference that, instead of being a curse, becomes an opportunity for Eddy Bellegueule so that he can end one life and begin another.The End of Eddy is filled not only with insight, but with practicality, a lack of false sentimentality, no preaching, and remarkable clarity about the human psyche. Because of these traits and Édouard Louis’ surprisingly concise writing style (the translation appears to be extraordinarily good), most readers will correctly conclude that this notable piece of fiction is autobiographical and Édouard Louis is a writer to watch. The End of Eddy is a fine literary novel not to be missed. [NOTE: Louis’s second novel, Histoire de la Violence, continues Eddy’s story and is yet to be translated and published in English].

Title: AComingofAgeGayNovelthatisaMustRead
Date: Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2017
Review: This is a combination of a gay coming-of-age novel and an indictment of social inequality in France. Just as we have the plague of Trump "land" in America, so has France witnessed the rise of far right politicians like Marine La Pen, who might have garnered only 20% of the vote in the last presidential in France but who promises to return the next round. This fine novel--which is replete with anti-black-and Arab racism, virulent homophobia, and casual sexism--reminds us that "Trumpism" is a phenomenon that extends across the Western world in the wake of globalization, which has produced its set of class victims. The people in this novel destroy themselves in dead end factory jobs, and live within a system that anticipates their failure and distress and prejudices. Eddy is not a hero or a perfect character, which makes the book even better. A must read.
