<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Student Jerome Lupien is swept up in a series of misadventures and criminal escapades in this portrait of a city infamously mired in the corrupt alliances of politicians, political lobbyists, and construction magnates. The school is unconventional, but the education singular.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Jerome Lupien -- libidinous, unscrupulous, and fresh out of university -- is ambitious and at loose ends. Whether on a hunting trip in the woods, on an escape planned in good faith to Cuba, or seeking to make his way in Montreal, Jerome cannot help but be embroiled in misadventures and underworld escapades. He is conned by the devious -- a hunting guide, a low-life car salesman, and, ultimately, a well-to-do political lobbyist profiting from the city's infamously corrupt partnership of politicians wielding remunerative contracts and the construction firms in cahoots. The unwitting (though frequently culpable) young man is enrolled, whether he knows it or not, in an unconventional and criminal school. And the education is singular, not only for Jerome, but also the reader.</p><p>The young man's heady journey provides -- as only Yves Beauchemin can do -- an extraordinary, full, and trenchant portrait of class variety. Here is a mordant piece of social satire that is a marvelous entertainment and wonderfully traditional narrative too.</p>
