{"product_id":"chronique-de-la-derive-douce","title":"Chronicle of the Gentle Drift","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen he arrived in Montreal in the mid-1970s, Dany Laferrière found himself facing his life as if it were a blank page. Fleeing dictatorship, he discovered a city in the midst of Olympic fervor and a society where the same big questions – love and sex, wealth and poverty, solitude and brotherhood – divided or united people, just as in his home country, but in a totally different order. It is humanity, irremediably confusing, irremediably familiar, rendered with the freshness of the twenty-three-year-old's gaze, but with all the virtuosity of the seasoned writer. Published in 1994, reissued in an augmented version in 2012 by Boréal, Chronique de la dérive douce is Dany Laferrière's first \"Quebec novel\". It initiated a dialogue between the child of the South and the land of the North that continues to this day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boréal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48132518805752,"sku":"9782764613894","price":17.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/4880\/1716\/files\/9782764613894_large_712887a9-b378-4125-9ae8-2b6c0b87a50f.webp?v=1774381749","url":"https:\/\/griffunrie.ca\/en\/products\/chronique-de-la-derive-douce","provider":"La Griffunrie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
