BBC News - HARDtalk, Edouard Louis

Stephen Sackur speaks to French writer Edouard Louis.

Stephen Sackur speaks to French writer Edouard Louis, seen as the voice of the gilets jaunes generation. Is anger the fuel that propels him?

Stephen Sackur speaks to writer Edouard Louis. Every so often a writer emerges with a voice so original, distinctive and strong that it is heard far beyond the confines of the book-buying public. Edouard Louis produced a raw, harrowing account of his own upbringing in a working class town in the north of France five years ago. Since then he's written two more books drawn from his own experience of class, discrimination and violence in a fractured France. It's tempting to see him as the voice of the gilets jaunes generation - is anger the fuel that propels him?
