Can A Writer Save The French Working Class From Marie Le Pen?
Édouard Louis, author of the smashing bestseller “The End of Eddy,” says he’s furious at the left-wing, and he demands that they do better: “When I see my father voting for Le Pen, I am revolted by the current government and its failings. Of course, I’m revolted by the right, but I never expected the right to do anything for the lower classes, but the left … the left has stopped speaking about poverty, misery and exclusion.”
