A brilliant little book...a touching memoir of sexual awakening,
and a gallery of philosophical ideas and characters
*The Observer*
A deeply intelligent and searching book, one that makes you
re-consider the narrative of your own life and reframe the story
you tell yourself... Didier Eribon understands how deep the roots
of inequality go
*Hilary Mantel*
Returning to Reims played a capital role in my life... I was
overwhelmed by this book. I felt I was reading the story of my
life.
*Edouard Louis*
This is a self-excoriating memoir... [Eribon] writes as someone who
has scrubbed hard at the markings of destiny
*New Statesman*
A stunning book -- vital and important
*Andrew McMillan*
Hypnotic ... a gripping read
*Daily Telegraph*
Eribon's memoir is fascinating: full of fretful honesty, battling
with shame around his background and shame at being ashamed
*The Times*
Eribon offers up a magnificent example of an enlightened life
liberated by theory, written in a style that deftly moves between
the intimate, the social and the political
*Annie Ernaux*
A powerful book and one that I enjoyed immensely
*Irish Times*
This is a beautiful book about suppression, losing touch with your
roots, and regaining balance
