Stephen Sackur speaks to writer Edouard Louis. Every so often a writer emerges with a voice so original, distinctive and strong that it is heard far beyond the confines of the book-buying public. Edouard Louis produced a raw, harrowing account of his own upbringing in a working-class town in the north of France five years ago. Since then he’s written two more books drawn from his own experience of class, discrimination and violence in a fractured France. It’s tempting to see him as the voice of the gilets jaunes generation – is anger the fuel that propels him?
