Overview: Born during the Great Depression, Jean-Claude Morel is an Everyman, a Montreal construction worker whose hands have helped build the city he lives in. He has dug out its metro tunnels, shaped islands in the Saint-Laurent river, and built the expressways that wind through the city’s core. But progress has come at a cost. Neighbourhoods are razed, streets cleared off the map, and the Morel family is expropriated.
Bristling with life, Morel unearths a story of Montreal long buried beneath years of dazzling urban renewal and modernization projects. This expertly crafted literary novel—a stylistic tour-de-force—is a profoundly human portrait of one man and his time, and a monument to his city.
