Description: Title: Who Killed My Father Author: Louis, Edouard Publisher: New Directions Publishing Corporation Binding: Paperback Pages: 96 Dimensions: 7.05h x 4.53w x 0.29d Product Weight: 0.2 lbs. Language: English ISBN: 9780811235044 Who Killed My Father rips into France's long neglect of the working class and its overt contempt for the poor, accusing the complacent French politicians-- at the minimum--of negligent homicide. The author goes to visit the ugly gray town of his childhood to see his dying father, barely fifty years old, who can hardly walk or breathe: "You belong to the category of humans whom politics consigns to an early death." It's as simple as that. Hand in hand with searing, specific denunciations are tender passages of a love between father and son, damaged early on by shame, poverty, and homophobia. Yet tenderness reconciles them, even as the state is killing off his father. Louis goes after the French system with bare knuckles but turns to his long-alienated father with open arms: this passionate combination makes Who Killed My Father a heartbreaking book.
