Brave New Voices: Édouard Louis | Ruhrtriennale 2024
In the organizer's words:
International voices of contemporary literature
In the Brave New Voices series, the Jahrhunderthalle Bochum becomes a poetic refuge in which authors of the new generation talk about the process of writing and contextualize social conditions using their texts.
Édouard Louis was born in 1991. His autobiographical debut novel The End of Eddy, in which he recounts his childhood and escape from the most precarious of circumstances in a village in northern France, caused a sensation in 2015. The book became an international bestseller and turned Louis into a literary shooting star. His books are published in 30 countries and are often adapted for the theater and made into films. He has spoken about his literary positions as Samuel Fischer Guest Professor at Freie Universität Berlin (2018), at the Mosse Lecture at Humboldt-Universität Berlin (2019) and at the Tübingen Poetry Lectures in 2023. His most recent publications are Wer hat meinen Vater umgebracht and Die Freiheit einer Frau. Édouard Louis lives in Paris.
