La Guerre, Yes Sir!

Vital, funny, moving and assured, La Guerre, Yes Sir! Is, a surrealist fable set in rural Quebec during WWI and one of the major achievements in Canadian fiction. Canadian Literature greeted its first appearance in these terms: It is the French-Canadian writer, Roch Carrier, who comes closest to the significance, power and artistry of Faulkner at his best... He might well be able to do for French Canada what Faulkner did for the American South.
