Book Description
This is a book about art, mythology, and the dying practice of conversation. The story begins and ends in Paris, but is set primarily in Montreal. The main character, Ruben, is both a man susceptible to self-deception and an iconoclast who, ironically, believes in a lot of things. During the short period of his life that this story covers, a universe of the mind is revealed filled with ideas that are all arguable, but offered passionately without compromise or misgiving. Through Ruben's transitory roles as a speaker and conversationalist, he shares with us an extraordinary view of life. His adventures, opinions, illusions and disappointments take the reader along on a fascinating journey that is guided by conviction and ideas, rather than sight. In the end, he returns to the place he began, to look back on "a path that no other man can find". The book is sometimes opinionated, often irreverent, but always thoughtful.
