Summary:
"It's 2006 and down-and-out protagonist Ghislain works as a reader for a publishing house in Montreal. He's fed up with all the wannabe writers who are determined to leave a trace of their passage on earth with their feeble attempts at the literary arts. Obsessed by literature and its future (or lack thereof), he reads everything he can in order to translate reality into the delirium that is Readopolis--a world imagined out of Chicago and Montreal, with some inhabitants, a convenience store, a parrot, and all kinds of dialogues running amok: cinematic, epistolary, theatrical, and Socratic."--From publisher.
