Nine unsettling stories in which the absurd and the tragic, dreams and disaster, memory and anguish mix. Childhood and adolescence are everywhere: almost every story is told by a man who looks back on a drama that marked him, like the boy traumatized by a cat burned alive by other boys, or another who wants to court a homely girl kept in squalid conditions. In the title story a young narrator, apparently homeless, meets an old man on a park bench who rails against life. Elsewhere a young man witnesses a suicide under the Jacques-Cartier Bridge, two teenage brothers take their own lives, and a father dying of cancer writes a long letter to his son.
