A cockroach in the kitchen (Broché)

This short story depicts with precision and sensitivity a bunch of unordinary people in down town Toronto (Canada) in the eighties. At the restaurant Chez Gaston, the boss Craig, extroverted and tormented, enjoys conversation in the company of a team of failed actors, hapless and marginal characters who drink and smoke and sometimes hit hard. Crag's girlfriend, Jane, survives in this chaotic world and tries to help friends at odds with the world they live in.
Written with insight and swiftness, the text succeeds in making us find them moving and enjoyable.
