Edouard Louis and Didier Eribon
b'Sociologist Didier Eribon and novelist \\xc9douard Louis were both born into conservative working-class families in provincial France. Oppressed both intellectually and sexually by racism and homophobia, they each escaped to academic life at the Sorbonne, where Eribon was for a while Louis\\u2019s tutor. Of Eribon\\u2019s \\u2018Returning to Reims\\u2019, first published in 2009 and now reissued by Allen Lane, \\xc9douard Louis has written that it \\u2018marked a turning point in my writing life.\\u2019 Louis\\u2019s first book \\u2018The End of Eddy\\u2019 was published in English to huge acclaim by Harvill Secker in 2017, and his second, \\u2018History of Violence\\u2019 (also Harvill Secker) coincides with the reissue of Eribon\\u2019s classic memoir. The two authors read from their books and discussed their lives and works with festival moderator and curator Steven Gale.
