The Hollow Beast

In the tradition of great comic works like Don Quixote, or Thomas Pynchon adapted by Looney Tunes. No, really. First published in French in 2018 by Le Quartanier, French publishers of Stephane Larue's The Dishwasher (Biblioasis 2019). Like The Dishwasher and Kevin Lambert's You Will Love What You Have Killed, this is a debut novel by a rising Quebec star and we anticipate similar bookseller enthusiasm for Bernard's epic. Bernard has also been a finalist for the Governor General's Award for French-language fiction and the 2018 Governor General's Awards and winner of the 2018 Quebec Booksellers' Prize, the 2018 Jovette-Bernier Award, and the 2017 Québec-Ontario Award. He lives in Burlington, Vermont.
