Gérald Godin gives us an astonishing first novel written in the tradition of the American thriller with a journalist whom Humphrey Bogart would have liked to have played as the protagonist.
One could read Exterminated Angel in no time at all, were it not for stopping so often to laugh. The exterminated angel of the title, Gérald Godin says, is his own innocence. The novel is his portrait of the early 1970s, beginning with the time he spent in jail during the October Crisis in 1970, an experience that led the poet to politics.
