While it is a slow read it was still powerful.

Just perhaps not for me.<br /><br />As for Patrick Senecal, I totally agree with you. It's crazy how culturally separated Quebec's industry is from the rest of the world. It goes both ways. Nobody outside Quebec knows about what goes on here, let alone take an interest. And inside, nobody believes that anyone could take an interest or they don't want them to. So we have all kinds of great television series that never get subtitled and great books that never get translated. A great waste of potential revenue. I'll ask around and see if I can get any more concrete information.OlmanFeelyushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17521657876810568251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995718.post-82567004119214952222011-03-19T11:22:26.133-04:002011-03-19T11:22:26.133-04:00Have you read his 1993 novel Headhunter?

Its the only Findley I've ever read and I enjoyed it tremendously at the time (though I wonder if I read it now if I would still like it). <br /><br />BTW, I am really interested in Patrick Senecal because of your post several weeks ago and it is frustrating that he has never been published in English. Seems to me that he would sell well if he were translated.Book Gluttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569975755798562829noreply@blogger.com
