Meer over het boek

A novel of great tact and sly humour that deals with ennui in Quebec and the intellectual alienation of a disenchanted hero, Hervé Jodoin who has come to Saint Joachim to work in the town's only bookstore. The proprietor, M. Léon Chicoine, is seemingly respectable and claims to be the secret agent of free thought and liberty by keeping a collection of books that are not for every eye. However, when Jodoin sells a book by a well-known subversive author, this causes a crisis in the town that involves not jus M. Chicoine, but also the town priest and our hero's lonely landlady. This story, chosen by the Grand Jury des Lettres of Montreal as one of the ten best novels of post-war contemporary Quebec, is both touchingly comical and extremely provocative."--P. [4] of cover.
