Anmeldelser
«Louis’s greatest strength as a writer is that he feels things so passionately, sometimes to the point of obsession, but that he also has a philosophical turn of mind that explores, rather than neutralises, his feelings.»
Edmund White, Guardian
«[B]oth brave and ambitious in its determination never to let its reader, or its author, escape lightly the damaging realities it describes.»
Tim Adams, Observer
«[A] harrowing piece of autofiction… History of Violence is a slim but densely layered novel that begins with raw urgency.»
Johanna Thomas-Corr, The Times
«[A] heartbreaking novel… I find myself captivated by Édouard Louis's books and his raw honesty.»
John Boyne, Irish Times
«An intense and uncomfortably thrilling book, which uses the harrowing events of that Christmas Eve as a basis for a wider exploration of class, race and individualism... a novel that is unflinching in its examination of class and discrimination.»
Tash Aw, Times Literary Supplement
