My third book from this author and I think it's my favourite. In this one he talks about his childhood and how he decided to leave his village behind. It's truly shocking at moments. I never realized some areas of France are so poor and closed minded. What I really like about his books is that he doesn't present himself as the victim or as the 'different' one. He shows how growing up in a racist and homophobic environment makes one internalize the same behaviours. How violence spreads over decades and its effects are still present. The way he comments on class differences was also fascinating to read. You can see it as it is visualize through the different languages used. The language of the village (past) and his educated language (now).

Quote: "But suffering is all-consuming, it somehow gets rid of anything that doesn't fit into its system"
