Inverse Images

Joseph Rosenblatt lives a life on a divide ...divided between his science and his beliefs, between modernity and tradition, between his religious faith and the secular world about him, the numerous tensions within his family, within his community, within the political world of contemporary Quebec, between the urban life of Montreal and the idyllic life of the Laurentians, between summer and fall. Inverse Images is wonderfully written, with humour and pathos, narrative and descriptive -- almost poetic -- passages, harrowing descriptions of fear and anguish, with erotic and insightful paragraphs and pages, metaphors, on tango and desire. This is Boyarsky best and mature work.
