Synopsis
In his debut novel, Louis Rastelli presents the story of a twentysomething struggling musician who drifts through Montreal's music scene. It's the end of the nineties, the end of the twentieth century, and the end of an era in the city's Plateau/Mile End district. Rastelli spins spontaneous tales of the artists and musicians, drunks and junkies, and punks and yuppies made neighbours by gentrification.
A calamitous ice storm and the looming Y2K are pondered between rounds at the bar. An apartment hosts an impromptu cabaret one night and a church service the next. As the narrator's faith in humanity is tested by appallingly casual cruelties, he finds solace in abandoned buildings, fleeting lovers, and the home movies of strangers.
