Bonbons Assortis/Assorted Candies

Bonbons Assortis /Assorted Candies completes Michel Tremblay's autobiographical narrative oeuvre. Like the previous three volumes, which celebrate the books, plays, and films that shaped his imagination and his writing life, this collection of eight delightful stories takes us back to Tremblay's formative years in Montreal's Plateau Mont-Royal, offering the reader poignant and joyful childhood memories as varied as the assorted candies his mother hoarded under her bed, to be shared only on the most festive or dramatic of family occasions.

"The best of Tremblay can be found in these Assorted Candies: the unparalleled dialogist, the prodigious portraitist, the attentive memorialist. . ." --Voir
