Who Killed My Father is a 2018 book by French writer Édouard Louis. It was first released in French in May 2018.

Structure and story

The book is a non-chronological account of several anecdotes about the author's life with his father. Louis tells different stories about living with his father, sometimes with contradictory details. Some scenes are violent, while some are loving. The book's title is not a question, and Louis addresses the list of those he considers responsible for the destruction of his father's body. These are, according to him, politicians and political people who have passed reforms impacting the poor. Specifically, he blames French presidents Jacques Chirac, Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande, as well as Emmanuel Macron, the French president at the time of the book's publication.
