History of Violence is international autobiographical novel about surviving a shocking sexual assault and coping with the post-traumatic stress disorder of its aftermath.<\/p>\n

On Christmas Eve 2012, in Paris, the novelist \u00c9douard Louis was raped and almost murdered by a man he had just met. This act of violence left Louis shattered; its aftermath made him a stranger to himself and sent him back to the village, the family, and the past he had sworn to leave behind.<\/p>\n

A bestseller in France, History of Violence is a short nonfiction novel in the tradition of Truman Capote\u2019s In Cold Blood, but with the victim as its subject. Moving seamlessly and hypnotically between past and present, between Louis\u2019s voice and the voice of an imagined narrator, History of Violence has the exactness of a police report and the searching, unflinching curiosity of memoir at its best. It records not only the casual racism and homophobia of French society but also their subtle effects on lovers, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives. It represents a great step forward for a young writer whose acuity, skill, and depth are unmatched by any novelist of his generation, in French or English.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","excerpt":"","slug":"115-pm-saturday-book-club-2020-12-19","image":{"url":"https:\/\/chapters.theprimetimersww.com\/minneapolisstpaul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Bookclub.jpg","id":396,"extension":"jpg","width":400,"height":400,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":300,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/chapters.theprimetimersww.com\/minneapolisstpaul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Bookclub-300x300.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/chapters.theprimetimersww.com\/minneapolisstpaul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Bookclub-150x150.jpg"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2020-12-19 14:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2020","month":"12","day":"19","hour":"14","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2020-12-19 16:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2020","month":"12","day":"19","hour":"16","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2020-12-19 20:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2020","month":"12","day":"19","hour":"20","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2020-12-19 22:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2020","month":"12","day":"19","hour":"22","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/Chicago","timezone_abbr":"CST","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"","currency_code":"","currency_position":"","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Monthly Recurring Events","slug":"monthly-recurring-events","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":3,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":136,"filter":"raw","id":3,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/chapters.theprimetimersww.com\/minneapolisstpaul\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/3","collection":"https:\/\/chapters.theprimetimersww.com\/minneapolisstpaul\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":127,"author":"2","status":"publish","date":"2019-10-14 14:34:14","date_utc":"2019-10-14 19:34:14","modified":"2019-10-14 14:34:14","modified_utc":"2019-10-14 19:34:14","url":"https:\/\/chapters.theprimetimersww.com\/minneapolisstpaul\/venue\/quatrefoil-library\/","venue":"Quatrefoil Library","slug":"quatrefoil-library","address":"1220 East Lake Street","city":"Minneapolis","country":"United States","state":"MN","zip":"55407","stateprovince":"MN","json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"Quatrefoil Library","description":"","url":"https:\/\/chapters.theprimetimersww.com\/minneapolisstpaul\/venue\/quatrefoil-library\/","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"1220 East Lake Street","addressLocality":"Minneapolis","addressRegion":"MN","postalCode":"55407","addressCountry":"United States"},"telephone":"","sameAs":""},"show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"global_id":"chapters.theprimetimersww.com\/minneapolisstpaul?id=127","global_id_lineage":["chapters.theprimetimersww.com\/minneapolisstpaul?id=127"]},"organizer":[],"custom_fields":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"1:15 PM – Saturday – Book Club","description":"<p>What:\u00a0History of Violence By:\u00a0Edouard Louis Host: Rick Where: Zoom When: Dec. 19th at 1:15 PM Contact Rick for details or to subscribe to book club notices by email here.
