Que faire de la littérature ?

Édouard Louis’s latest book, Que faire de la littérature ? was published on October 1, 2025 by Flammarion.

“Que faire de la littérature ? (What to do with literature?) is a journey through literary history and a reflection on the unspoken aspects of that history. Through the concepts of ‘confrontation’ and ‘intimacy,’ Édouard Louis attempts to transcend the traditional oppositions between political literature and formal literature, speech and writing, intimate narratives and works of combat. In these interviews with Mary Kairidi, he offers us a grand manifesto for a new literature that is radically contemporary, lyrical, and revolutionary.”
