Jos Connaissant
$19.95
Translated by Ray Chamberlain.
“Jos Connaissant is a profound and often agonizing exploration of the nature of exile and alienation … Ray Chamberlain’s fine translation makes available to English readers a powerful exploration of man’s struggle to come to terms with himself in a hostile and faithless world.” —The Reviewing Librarian
“What we ought to be doing, friends, is seeking our past, our true past, the past that stretches back beyond childhood, the real past of beginnings and fickle origins. There alone lies the truth. If any man love me, let him follow me.” Thus speaks Jos Connaissant, the “Know-it-all,” Victor-Lévy Beaulieu”s gently ironic way of referring to Jos Beauchemin, mystic turned sorcerer.
Governor General’s Award for translation.
