Description
On the eve of the rst independence referendum, Louis Bourbon discovers that he has a growing problem: debt. In his rst year as a medical student, he tries to resolve his nancial troubles by attempting to become a pimp. After the attempt fails, Louis takes a sojourn in Cuba to "escape from himself." There, he meets the innocent yet seductive Isabella, who is a symbol of the regime she lives in. Louis then heads back to Montreal to complete his medical studies. Shortly thereafter, he is involved in a relationship with Marie, a married woman with compulsive desires and a maniacal fear of aging. Louis later nds that his former high school friend, SosthEne, has embraced the lifestyle and values of Communist China and is seeking Quebec's independence from Canada. SosthEne seeks Louis's help in promoting his political ambitions but is met by reluctance. SosthEne, in a show of de ance and frustration, resolves to seek his revenge on the Establishment through an ill-fated bank robbery.
Three Dots to the Deluge is an unsentimental novel of ideas told with dark humour. The book's major and interconnected themes are the in uence of political and economic culture in shaping our individual self-worth; the self-interested and often negative quality of human nature; and the need for divertissement to alleviate us from misery.
