Dada The Lunatic - Abitibi

Yves Patrick Beaulieu

Beschreibung

Emerging from a coma, David Langelier finds himself, rather incredibly, aboard a train en route to the Gaspé Peninsula at the other end of Quebec. He’s lost his memory but knows his identity because his wallet is in his pocket. He was in an accident and upon awakening from the comatose state he’d been in ever since, found himself in a room at the Hôtel-Dieu d’Amos hospital in Abitibi. One evening, he leaves the hospital in the pouring rain and gets lost in the city streets. Still very weak after long months of lying in a hospital bed, he sees a railway station and takes refuge in a Canadian National Railway boxcar, exhausted but oddly happy under the circumstances. Sheltered from the deluge, he falls into a deep slumber. 


This is the third volume of Yves-Patrick Beaulieu’s Abitibian saga set in the Gaspé Peninsula.

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.

Tender Betrayal

Rosanne Bittner

Stolen kisses and secret reunions lead to a passion that civil war cannot sever in this glorious historical romance from the bestselling author of Caress.   Beautiful, proud Audra Brennan feels like a stranger in a foreign land when she comes north from Louisiana to study music. But when she savors her first forbidden taste of desire in the arms of handsome lawyer Lee Jeffreys, his caresses spark a flame within her that burns away the differences between rebel and Yankee, all objections silenced by the fierce beating of two wild hearts falling impetuously, impossibly in love.   Suddenly cannon fire shatters the country. Principled, impassioned, and committed to a nation united, Lee answers the call to fight against the Confederacy, while Audra hurries home to a plantation shadowed by the darkening cloud of war. But in the most terrible of circumstances, can either afford to surrender their heart?   “Power, passion, tragedy and triumph are Rosanne Bittner’s hallmarks. Again and again, she brings readers to tears.” —RT Book Reviews
