MAPLE

The highly anticipated return of David Goudreault, with a spin-off from the last volume of the Mama's Boy trilogy

In this trashy comic thriller, we again meet Maple, the main character in Abattre la bête (Mama's Boy Game Over), on her release from prison. She was convicted after attacking a police officer in order to allow La Bête to escape. In the universe she returns to, the world of prostitution and drug addiction, a series of murders occur. At the risk of blowing up the investigation, Maple forces herself on the police to lend a hand and discover who is daring to attack the city's most vulnerable people.

A social worker, poet, and novelist, David Goudreault makes a lasting impression on everyone. His caustic writing has earned him a large number of awards, including Quebec's Medal of Honour of the National Assembly, the World Cup of Slam Poetry, the Grand Prix littéraire Archambault and the Prix des nouvelles voix de la littérature. A mix of poetry and comedy, his first stand-up performance, On the Tip of Your Tongue, enjoyed great critical and popular success, and was performed over a hundred times for audiences in Canada and Europe, as well as in Tunisia and La Réunion, in addition to sweeping up several awards. Maple is his fifth novel.
