Is This the End of French Intellectual Life?

At the end of last summer, Le Débat, France’s most prestigious intellectual review, accompanied its 40th-anniversary issue with a wholly unexpected announcement: It would cease publication forthwith. Le Débat and its three or four thousand loyal readers had maintained an allegiance to the political left since the Cold War — but the meaning of “left” has been shifting. Rivals now claim the term, particularly social movements that arose in France in the 1980s to champion what is variously called identity politics or social justice. After waging a decades-long twilight struggle against these movements, Le Débat has lost.

Édouard Louis 'in very bad way' after man accused of his rape has charge dropped | Books

In 2012, Louis was a 21-year-old student called Eddy Bellegueule and newly arrived in Paris when he told police a man he had met the previous evening had raped and tried to strangle him at knifepoint before stealing his iPad and phone on Christmas Day.
A medical examination carried out at the time found injuries that the doctor concluded suggested non-consensual and unprotected sex. It also noted bruising to Louisâs neck.
Bellegueule changed his name to Louis and wrote about the alleged attack in his bestselling book
Histoire de la violence (History of Violence) in 2016. This followed his 2014 autobiographical novel
