Published April 18, 2017

Michael Lucey *89 translates Edouard Louis’ autobiographical novel, The End of Eddy (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux), about growing up gay in a poor working-class neighborhood. All young Eddy wanted was to be a man in the eyes of his friends and neighbors, but he was always different — intellectually precocious and attracted to other men.
