A tongue-in-cheek manifesto on generational conflicts. Co-written with Philippe Chauveau and accompanied by drawings by Pierre Pratt and Rémy Simard, this book marked its time. It has been distributed in all the Délégations du Québec (thanks to Bernard Landry), in several public and private libraries (thanks to Lysianne Gagnon and Christiane Charest) and to Library of Congress (we don't really know because of who). Whic may explain why it was a best sellers in the canonical year 1986.
It was followed by another book by the same ilk and by the same authors, the Affaire Adam et Ève also published by Éditions du Boréal.

Mes parents, ces tarés
Télévision
A humorous autobiography of a young girl in her mother's womb, this book follows from month to month the development of the fetus and the concomitant disorganization of its putative parents. Are they nervous-hyperventilators, faint-hearted laissez-faire, obsessed with everything or last minute without press and without mercy?
