Description

The winter solstice. A diner in Montreal. A movie. A photograph. A name. These random bits of trivia are the anchor points of our lives, markers that tell us who we are and where we are going. They are the air we breathe, shared between strangers without a second thought. They are the avenues through which humanity flows. Helene Rioux's novel about cab drivers and dancers, painters and writers, Russians and Mexicans, and fathers and daughters portrays our world as intricate, troubling, fantastic, and always surprising. Wednesday Night at theEnd of the World is a kaleidoscope of all that we have in common, for better or for worse.
