    • 2014, Édouard Louis, En finir avec Eddy Bellegueule [The End of Eddy], Le Seuil:
      Ça a pas été trop dur, parce que je suis une bonne reproductrice, je suis quand même tombée enceinte alors que j’avais un stérilet, et j’ai des jumeaux (mes petits frère et sœur), alors bon, et, ça reste entre nous, mais ton père il a un sacre engin
      It wasn't too hard, because I'm very fertile; I still got pregnant even though I had an IUD, and I have twins (my little brother and sister). You see, and this is just between you and me, but your father has a hell of a tool on him.
