<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Roman Carr is an impostor, an American tv writer at his peak, who still has trouble facing his Gaspé Peninsula origins. A chronicle of the American Sixties, <i>Métis Beach</i> captures the extraordinary hopes and repressions of a time like no other.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In America, not believing in God is anti-American, isn't it?</b><br/> <br/> At fifty years of age, Roman Carr, whose real name is Romain Carrier, has made it. His television series <i>In Gad We Trust</i>, a scathing satire of the United States and its relationship with God, is a huge hit. He is carving out an enviable place for himself in Hollywood, the end of a long, tortuous journey for the man who fled his Gaspé Peninsula village in murky circumstances back in 1962.<br/> <br/> Both a coming-of-age story and a historical epic, <i>Métis Beach</i> is a chronicle of the great American Sixties. It recaptures the extraordinary liberation movements and social unrest that marked that era, and vividly conveys the irrepressible idealism that carried along a whole generation. It is a celebration of the supreme good that the United States hoped to achieve: the coming of everyone's right to be free.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Métis Beach</i> is a masterful first novel.-- "Winnipeg Free Press"<br><br>★ Impressive ...
