Mama's Boy
Mama's Boy | David Goudreault
4 posts | 7 read | 3 to read
Winner of the 2016 Grand Prix littéraire Archambault Written with gritty humour in the form of a confession, Mama's Boy recounts the family drama of a young man who sets out in search of his mother after a childhood spent shuffling from one foster home to another. A bizarre character with a skewed view of the world, he leads the reader on a quest that is both tender and violent. A runaway bestseller among French readers, Mama's Boy is the first book in a trilogy that took Quebec by storm, winning the 2016 Grand Prix littéraire Archambault, and selling more than twenty thousand copies. Now, thanks to translator JC Sutcliffe, English readers will have the opportunity to absorb this darkly funny and disturbing novel from one of Quebec's shining literary stars.

Blood thirsty and psychological, I give this book a good review only because someone chose it for me and I was curious.

Today we celebrate Québec's literature. It's buy a Québec's novel day. I've been xstitching the last few days. This was about the only task I could concentrate enough to do while my body was doing its mid summer break down. I'm better now.

This is officially my last book of 2018!

Trigger warning for violence against animals. This was a disturbing little book, but despite my unease, I was compelled to read on. Mama‘s Boy follows a young man (who is a bit of a psychopath) as he searches for his mother after spending his childhood moving from foster home to foster home.

"My mother was always committing suicide. She started out young, in an amateur capacity. But it didn‘t take long for Mama to work out how to make psychiatrists take notice, and to get the respect reserved for the most serious cases." David Goudreault joins us at the 2018 EMWF! bit.ly/2MhM0hN #canlit #emwf18
