A Québécois Dream

Translated by Ray Chamberlain.

A Québécois Dream is a nightmare vision of what happens to a man who is dispossessed, impotent, afraid, and filled with rage. Joseph-David-Barthélémy Dupuis takes grotesque war measures against his estranged wife while the “October Crisis” goes on beyond the doors of his apartment in north Montreal. He may be hallucinating but the nightmare of violence is no less real, either inside his head or out.
