Book Description
A 2005 Canada Reads Selection
In this classic road novel, Jacques Poulin tells the story of a man in search of his brother. The geographical journey — through Detroit, into Chicago, on to St. Louis, along the Oregon Trail and into California — becomes a metaphor for the exploration of the history of the French in North America.

Ce roman roule,
By A Customer
This review is from: Volkswagen Blues (Paperback)
Je suis professeur de littérature francophone à l'université de Veracruz, et celui-ci est un livre qui s'adapte à mes propos pédagogiques et littéraires. C'est un parcours par l'Amérique du nord et par l'histoire. Si vous aimez les romans contemporains bien écrits, je vous le recomande. Génial, structure, personnages, intrigue, narration, parallélisme entre présent et passé.

roman,
This review is from: Volkswagen Blues (Paperback)
Mon gendre a adoré. Nous l'initions à la littérature québécoise et il existe très peu d'ouvrages d'auteurs qui sont traduits. Dommage...il en redemande.

Dream along,
By A Customer
This review is from: Volkswagen Blues (Hardcover)
This book was the first Poulin I have read. Eventually I read all of them, but this one is his best. Read it slowly, dream along, savour every page. I found some of his other books a bit hard to crack, but not this one. This is something everyone can (and should) enjoy. Beautiful.
