Is anger the fuel that propels Edouard Louis to write his books?

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. HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur speaks to
Edouard Louis, who 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 has 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?
