Description: Named a Best Book of the Year by Vogue BBC and Hudson Booksellers A New Yorker Recommended Read of the Year An autobiographical novel from Edouard Louis hailed as one of the most important voices of his generation - about social class transformation and the perils of leaving the past behind. One question took center stage in my life it focused all my thoughts and occupied every moment when I was alone with myself: how could I get this revenge by what means? I tried everything. Edouard Louis longs for a life beyond the poverty discrimination and violence in his working - class hometown - so he sets out for school in Amiens and later university in Paris. He sheds the provincial " Eddy" for an elegant new name determined to eradicate every aspect of his past. He reads incessantly he dines with aristocrats he spends nights with millionaires and drug dealers alike. Everything he does is motivated by a single obsession: to become someone else. At once harrowing and profound Change is not just a personal odyssey a story of dreams and of "the beautiful violence of being torn away " but a vividly rendered portrait of a society divided by class power and inequality.
