About this Item
An autobiographical novel from à douard Louis, hailed as one of the most important voices of his generation--about social class, transformation, and the perils of leaving the past behind.One question took center stage in my life, it focused all of my thoughts and occupied every moment when I was alone with myself: how could I get this revenge, by what means? I tried everything.à douard Louis longs for a life beyond the poverty, discrimination, and violence in his working-class hometown--so he sets out for school in Amiens, and, later, university in Paris. He sheds the provincial "Eddy" for an elegant new name, determined to eradicate every aspect of his past. He reads incessantly; he dines with aristocrats; he spends nights with millionaires and drug-dealers alike. Everything he does is motivated by a single obsession: to become someone else. At once harrowing and profound, Change is not just a personal odyssey, a story of dreams and of "the beautiful violence of being torn away," but a vividly rendered portrait of a society divided by class, power, and inequality.

Store Description
We started in 2022 as a tiny queer bookshop with a big mission: to support underrepresented authors and build community around their stories.
Since then, we?ve become a gathering place for thousands of readers, hundreds of authors, and a growing chorus of voices. Every day brings more books, more clubs, and more connection.
We?re still in the first chapter. What began as a mission to build community around books is growing into something much larger. A new way to experience literature is on the horizon. Through it all, creators remain at the center of everything we do.
