Édouard Louis: The Weight of Where We Come From
Édouard Louis, Adam Biles
Courtyard Theatre 21 Aug
19.00 1hr

Few writers expose the intimate violence of class and family with the force of international sensation Édouard Louis. In Monique Escapes and Collapse, two searing novels about lives shaped by poverty and abuse, the author of The End of Eddy trains his fearless gaze on his mother and brother. Hear his extraordinary blend of emotional intensity and sociological sharpness as he talks shame, escape, reinvention, and what it takes to break the cycles we inherit. Chaired by Adam Biles.
