Description
Personal and historical essay weaving a son's reflections on his Québec-born, rebellious, itinerant father through the changing shape of Catholicism in New France, Lower Canada, and Québec into the 21st century. The persistent grip of a longtime North American family's roots. His father's formative youth and later hatred of clergy, their tenuous relationship, the power of cultural narrative, and the shapes that one's departing quests from them can take.
