Édouard Louis's 'Who Killed My Father' is a poignant and searingly honest memoir that explores the complex relationship between the author and his father, set against a backdrop of deep-seated social inequality in rural France. Louis meticulously dissects how the systemic failures of the state, the brutality of the working-class environment, and the relentless demands of masculinity contributed to his father's physical and mental decline. It’s a powerful indictment of a society that abandons its most vulnerable, forcing readers to confront uncomfortable truths about class, health, and dignity.
