The sixth novel by Jacques Godbout. Noting that the Quebec race was two-headed, the novelist chose to tell the life (lives) of a two-headed monster: François loves life, French, and logic; Charles is a dreamer, becomes melancholy and speaks English "without an accent." At 25 years old, they decide to meet in a single head; each one hemisphere... A fable about the human condition and above all a political allegory that draws on caricature. A delightful novel in which the author alternates vivacity and irony. Numerous puns and witticisms.
