1 post | 2 read

First published in Quebec in 1981, Beauchemin’s highly acclaimed comic masterpiece of storytelling follows in the tradition of the great novels of the 19th century. When Florent Boissonneault comes to the aid of an accident victim, his life changes forever. One onlooker, the powerful and sinister Egon Ratablavasky, comes to haunt his ambitions and dreams, lurking behind his every opportunity, success, and failure. Finally, obsessed by a need to free himself, Florent discovers how to fight back.

The Alley Cat | Yves Beauchemin

so-so

I struggled to get into this book at first and I never really loved it. I didn‘t sympathize much with the protagonist and found a number of the characters to be kinda irritating at times and felt they were destined to fail, regardless of the evil enigma that was Old Rat. I did like getting a little peek into Québécois culture of the early 80s and it wasn‘t a bad book.
