Highly acclaimed for The End of Eddy, Edouard Louis in 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—at the minimum—of negligent homicide. “Racism,” he quotes Ruth Gilmore, “is the exposure of certain groups to premature death.” And Louis goes to visit the ugly gray town of his child...(展开全部)

霍华德．布登（Howard Buten），1950年出生于美国底特律。他除了作家身分，也是临床心理学家，以研究自闭儿的专业闻名美国和欧洲。此外，他也以扮演小丑，为自闭儿进行治疗，并以“小丑布弗”为名，在欧、美、日等世界各地进行表演。 此书是霍华德．布登最著名的小说，全书以男孩的口吻，描写出一个不被成人理解，始终遭到扭曲的孩童心灵世界。故事相当感人，首次在美国以《小波》为名出版时，虽获得了不错的回响，也创下了不错的销售成绩，但都还不如后来在法国以《五岁时，我杀了自己》为名问世的版本。 霍华德．布登以此书在法国一炮而红，并以惊人的销量稳坐法国书市，出版至今30多年来，这部小说因为内容太令人震撼，持续受到讨论，它所累积的读者群已涵盖各个年龄层。在法国读者眼中，它与经典文学名著《小王子》具有同等地位，并推崇它为法国版的《麦田守望者》。 这部作品不止被搬上大银...(展开全部)
