Synopsis "Returning to Reims "

'A deeply intelligent and searching book, one that makes you re-consider the narrative of your own life and reframe the story you tell yourself' Hilary MantelA Guardian reader's Best Book of 2018 "There was a question that had come to trouble me a bit earlier, once I had taken the first steps on this return journey to Reims... Why, when I have had such an intense experience of forms of shame related to class ... why had it never occurred to me to take up this problem in a book?"Returning to Reims is a breathtaking account of one man's return to the town where he grew up after an absence of thirty years. It is a frank, fearlessly personal story of family, memory, identity and time lost. But it is also a sociologist's view of what itmeans to grow up working class and then leave that class; of inequality and shifting political allegiances in an increasingly divided nation. A phenomenon in France and a huge bestseller in Germany, Didier Eribon has written the defining memoir of our times.'I was overwhelmed by this book. I felt I was reading the story of my life' Edouard Louis, author of The End of Eddy'A book about self-invention and belonging' Colm Toibin

Didier Eribon is a philosopher. He is the author of a famous biography of Michel Foucault (Anagrama, 1992) (translated into twenty languages) and has also published several other epoch-making works such as Identities: reflections on the gay question (Biblioteca del Ciudadano, Bellaterra, 2000), Reflections on the gay question (Anagrama, 2001), A morality of the minority: variations on a theme by Jean Genet (Anagrama, 2004), Heresies: essays on the theory of sexuality (Col. SGU, Bellaterra, 2004) and recently D’une révolution conservatrice et de ses effets sur la gauche française (Léo Scheer, 2007). Invited to numerous foreign universities (particularly in Berkeley where he has been Visiting Professor for several years), internationally, he is considered one of the most important French intellectuals today, and Yale University awarded him the prestigious James Robert Brudner Memorial Prize in 2008.
