Guidance to become another

In his mid-twenties, he has already lived several lives: a childhood in poverty, the shame of his origins, fleeing from the village to the small town, and setting off for Paris. He frees himself from the constraints of his background, adopts a new name, reads and writes obsessively, engages in prostitution, and experiments with himself. New worlds continually open up to him, yet he constantly questions the self-transformation that never quite completes. What does it cost to take control of one’s own life story? Édouard Louis masterfully narrates what one leaves behind when arriving at oneself.
