Summary:
"
La
Guerre
,
Yes
Sir
!" -- A surrealist fable set in rural Quebec during WWI. Canadian Literature greeted its first appearance in these terms: "It is the French-Canadian writer Roch Carrier who comes closest to the significance, power, and artistry of Faulkner at his best . . . He might well be able to do for French Canada what Faulkner did for the American South."
"Floralie, Where Are You?" -- In the second installment, Carrier reaches back to the wedding night of the Corriveau parents, whom we first meet in
La
Guerre
,
Yes
Sir
!. Once again, a single night expands until it becomes a world in itself. But this time it is a very different concoction, mingling desire and guilt, nightmare and fantasy, as Anthymo drives Floralie back to his village through the forest.
"Is It the Sun, Philibert?" -- In the final installment, Young Philibert hitchhikes down to Montreal to make his fortune, and meets a different world. As he scrambles from job to job, he discovers a new Quebec - urban, industrial, and dedicated finally to the death of the person.
