{"product_id":"9780141987996","title":"Returning to Reims - Didier Eribon","description":"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","brand":"Didier Eribon","offers":[{"title":"256 pages \/ 04\/04\/2019 \/ Memoirs","offer_id":57452081676663,"sku":"9780141987996","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9780141987996.jpg?v=1789203797","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9780141987996","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
