Die Freiheit einer Frau

In the organizer's words:

Bestselling author Édouard Louis tells the touching reunion of mother and son

"A furious story of alienation through social class differences. (...) Stormy applause." (FAZ)

With novels such as "The End of Eddy" and "In the Heart of Violence", the shooting star of the French novel, Édouard Louis, has reinvented nothing less than a genre: autofictional writing. He tells of classism, homophobia, chauvinism and xenophobia. In his manifesto "Who killed my father", he denounced the effects of neoliberal politics on his father's maltreated body. In "A Woman's Freedom", he follows in the footsteps of his mother Monique Belleguelle's biography. With subtle self-criticism, Louis reflects on the violence of role models and recounts his mother's touching heroine's journey: how she frees herself from her toxic family in the provinces, how she finds a new life and a new love in Paris, and how she finally smokes a cigarette with Catherine Deneuve.
