Résumé :
In Montreal's restless immigrant community, our unnamed narrator is living in despair. Forced to visit a therapist after a suicide attempt, he brings us back to his childhood in a war-torn country, forward into his current life in the smoky émigré cafes where everyone has a tale, and out into the frozen nighttime streets of Montreal, where he imagines himself to be a cockroach invading the lives of the privileged, but willfully blind, citizens who surround him. With Cockroach, the award-winning author of De Niro's Game gives us a carnivalesque, philosophical novel that weaves dark humour with an accusatory, satirical voice, spawning from the subsurface to challenge humanity and its downfall.
