Shortlisted for the 2022 Atwood Gibson Writers' Trust Fiction Prize - Winner of the 2023 ReLit Award for Fiction - Longlisted for the 2024 Dublin Literary AwardHomage to Jean Genet´s antihero and a brilliant reimagining of the ancient form of tragedy, Querelle of Roberval, winner of the Marquis de Sade Prize, is a wildly imaginative story of justice, passion, and murderous revenge.As a millworkers´ strike in the northern lumber town of Roberval drags on, tensions start to escalate between the workers-but when a lockout renews their solidarity, they rally around the mysterious and magnetic influence of Querelle, a dashing newcomer from Montreal. Strapping and unabashed, likeable but callow, by day he walks the picket lines and at night moves like a mythic Adonis through the ranks of young men who flock to his apartment for sex. As the dispute hardens and both sides refuse to yield, sand stalls the gears of the economic machine and the tinderbox of class struggle and entitlement ignites in a firestorm of passions carnal and violent. Trenchant social drama, a tribute to Jean Genet´s antihero, and a brilliant reimagining of the ancient form of tragedy, Querelle of Roberval, winner of France´s Marquis de Sade Prize, is a wildly imaginative story of justice, passion, and murderous revenge.mehr
