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?\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReturning 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'I was overwhelmed by this book.
