Lamentable, Sam Cyr

Lamentable is the story of a repressed homosexual during the first year of university. The well-balanced, self-deprecating story takes place in Gaspésie, Québec. The protagonist is at once endearing and detestable, and the tone is serious yet humorous. In short, it’s a highly captivating novel.
