"""[An] astounding book . . . a mini epic of an ordinary man, and a time capsule of post-war Montreal with all its problems, economic, political, and environmental. I highly recommend it.""--The Miramichi Reader ""One of the greatest Quebec novelists and short story writers of our time.""--Lettres Qu�b�coises ""Bock's language crackles with the energy of a Qu�b�cois folk song, impassioned and celebratory but also melancholy and cheekily ironic.""--The New Yorker ""Bock creates an impressive diversity of voices.""--Times Literary Supplement"
