Invisible Man at the Window

by Monique Proulx, translated by Matt Cohen

tagged: literary
Description

Winner of the Prix Québec-Paris, the Québec Bookstores' Prize and the Prix Littéraire Desjardins, Invisible Man at the Window is the bizarre and compelling tale of a group of artists and hangers-on whose lives cross in the attic apartment of a painter called Max. Through a series of chapters in the form of "portraits," Max, a paraplegic, lays bare the psyches of those who would surround him, pamper him, love him either because or in spite of his handicap.
