3.0

A tiny little novel, not even a hundred pages, but wow does it hit hard. The story on the surface tells the tale of a captured revolutionary who is following his nemesis H. de Heutz through the cities, back roads, and chateaux of Switzerland. In actuality the novel is much deeper, an allegorical depiction of the Quebec separatism movement of the 1960s. The book is very hard to read, and I suggest reading it twice, but even then you may not fully understand it. Strictly for those studying quebec. Stay away, you've been warned.
