Chargement... October 1970par Louis Hamelin
   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  LynnB | Jan 1, 2014 |   That said, however, I stopped reading on page 88, because while I thought this was an interesting idea, I didn't 500-page-like the idea. At least not at this time (December 2013). This book is recommended for people with longer attention spans than mine. rabbitprincess | Dec 3, 2013 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Longlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize. Selected as an Amazon.ca Best Book. October 1970. Two kidnappings. One dead. A crisis unlike anything the country had ever seen -- here is the story behind history... Thirty years after the October Crisis, Sam Nihilo, a freelance writer whose career is in a slump, is drawn to the conspiracy theories that have proliferated in the wake of the events. While investigating the death of one of the FLQ hostages, Nihilo sees his life consumed by an inquiry that leads him further into a flurry of facts, both known and newly discovered. Soon, secret agents, corrupt police officers, politicians, and former terrorists of the Front de Libération du Québec form a mysterious constellation around him, and at the centre lies a complicated and dangerous truth. In the tradition of Don DeLillo's Libra, October 1970 is a thrilling fictional account of the events that shaped one of the most volatile moments in recent history.

The story is told in short chapters, and jumps around in time and in voice. It's main focus is on the FLQ members and sympathisers, with not much said about the political decisions made in Ottawa and Quebec City. I was sometimes confused, and reverted to the list of characters provided at the front of the book several times. But I am glad I stuck with it as the story drew me in ever deeper. Fascinating, plausible...it brings a different perspective to the events of October, 1970. (
