<p><b>** Shortlisted for the 2020 International Dublin Literary Award **</b></p><p><b>The radical, urgent new novel from the author of <i>The End of Eddy</i> - a personal and powerful story of violence.</b></p><p><i>I met Reda on Christmas Eve 2012, at around four in the morning. He approached me in the street, and finally I invited him up to my apartment. He told me the story of his childhood and how his father had come to France, having fled Algeria. </i></p><p><i>We spent the rest of the night together, talking, laughing. At around 6 o'clock, he pulled out a gun and said he was going to kill me. He insulted me, strangled and raped me. The next day, the medical and legal proceedings began.</i></p><p><i>History of Violence</i> retraces the story of that night, and looks at immigration, class, racism, desire and the effects of trauma in an attempt to understand a history of violence, its origins, its reasons and its causes. <br><br><b> 'It stays with you' <i>Times</i></b></p><p><b>'A heartbreaking novel' John Boyne</b></p>
