With comic brilliance and a delight in the macabre, michel basilieres holds a fun-house mirror up to a definin moment in Canadian history and reveals, among other things, a family having a very bad year. --- Set in a house at the foot of Mount Royal, in which three generations of English - and French - Canadians live. They are caught in the gears of a national crisis. -- A wholly original novel that takes aim at hypocrisy in all its guises. The author ushers us into the underbelly of an almost mythical city - into its bars, prisons, doctors' offices and churches - and into the lives and minds of the dispossed. Gothic, outrageous, yet tender and wise. Black Bird is as liberating as the dreams of its wayward characters, and as gripping as the insurgencies that split its heart.
