Le Passager
(The Passenger)
|
Québec français |
 Illustration : Jacques Lamontagne |
Étienne Séguin is not yet thirty years old. Born in Drummondville, he has been living in Montreal for a few years. He's just accepted a post teaching literature in the college in his native city. No problem : he will come and go via Highway 20. The drive is no more than an hour, and he will be able to listen to the radio and, above all, forget his recent separation ! Not long after he begins working in Drummondville, Étienne notices a hitchhiker always standing at the same place when he drives by. Why not pick him up to break the monotony of the ride ? When he does, Étienne realizes that his passenger has known him since childhood. Étienne, however, suffers from amnesia and has no recollection whatsoever of his youth. That is when questions spring up in his mind : who is this passenger he's got into the habit of picking up ? What did they do together when they were younger ? Le Passager (The Passenger) : a novel packed with tension... like all Senécal's books ! |
