<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Michel Tremblay's classic play about identity, written during Quebec's Quiet Revolution.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In Michel Tremblay's classic play about identity in crisis, Claude leaves the conformity of small-town Quebec to realize a new life and a new persona among the drag queens and prostitutes of Montreal's seedy "Main" - the boulevard that marks the division of the city's anglophone and francophone neighbourhoods. <p/>Claude's illusions about himself are shattered when, painstakingly remade as his idol Elizabeth Taylor in<br><i>Cleopatra</i>, he arrives at a costume party themed on "great women of history" and is mocked for his glamorous aspirations. Written during the social and political tumult of Quebec's Quiet Revolution, Tremblay's political allegory about the authenticity of self resonates ever more so today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><br>"The writing is pure Tremblay - musical, breathtakingly beautiful, and layered with emotion."<br><em>- Toronto Star</em> <p/>"Fluid, glitzy ... immensely full of life."<br><em>- Toronto Sun</em> <p/>"Written by a real playwright who can write poetic prose, handle literary technique, and create character."<br><em>- New York Post</em><br>
