En Finir Avec Eddy Bellegueule by Edouard Louis.
A radio show actually brought his name up and he was explaining being gay in a very working class background in the north of France and this is very bleak reading indeed, but I think it'll end in something better. A sort of rebirth.

I believe André Téchiné's recent (and excellent) film Quand On A 17 Ans (Being Seventeen) is partly based on this book.
