One day, a mysterious visitor, member of the Isumi Hues, Pigments, Colours, Mollusks and Shellfish Conglomerate, makes his arrival. Nobody knows at first that Mori Ishikawa has made an invention that will come to change the course of history.

Paul Serge Forest was born in 1984 in the Côte-Nord region of Québec. He now lives in Montréal, where he practises medicine. All Is Ori is his first novel.

Comments from the jury of the Prix Robert-Cliche du premier roman

- A contemporary story that's anchored in the history and geography of Quebec, yet has a
completely universal appeal.
