Rendition Conducive To Books Salut Galarneau!
This is a brilliant and sarcastic novel about a college-educated loser in Quebec during the 1960s who makes a living with a chip truck. This cruel little book is a must read, for anything wishing to understand the zeitgeist of Quebec during the Quiet Revolution.Jacques Godbout wants his his hero to get control of his life and his province of Quebec to assume its destiny by becoming a sovereign nation. Salut Galarneau thus expresses the zeitgeist of Quebec during the 1960s better than any other novel that I am aware of.
It is alas a must read for all francophone and anglophone Canadians who want to understand a certain moment in our history.

Véritable oeuvre de son temps, on retrouve dans Salut Galarneau! un style nerveux, imagé et poétique qui n'est pas sans rappeler Réjean Ducharme, teinté d'un nihilisme digne de Céline. On suivra François, cantinier, qui entretient une forte réflexion sur la vie, la valeur de l 'argent et de l'éducation. Son intellectualisme et sa propension à tout critiquer pousseront son entourage à le convaincre d'écrire un livre afin de mettre ses idées sur table. Mais l'écriture est un processus qui
Salut Galarneau! représente bien la société québécoise de la Révolution Tranquille. La société se réforme, et Godbout réforme le style décriture. Déjà , cest écrit à la première personne. On sacre, on chiale, on utilise des anglicismes, des phrases sans verbes, on fait des ellipses, François simagine des scénarios, parle au futur François pense à empailler Marise on est loin des romans du terroir. François cest le ptit québécois, le français, celui qui veut faire une différence mais qui ne fait
Un des meilleurs romans canadiens-français ou québécois (selon le goût du jour) que j'aie lus : original, drôle, plein d'images prégnantes, poignant par moments, tant il est vrai et humain. Je n'hésiterais pas à le relire.
