The first book we're discussing in my new book club in Montreal, YAY!!

I've realized that I don't really like short stories that much, I prefer time for characters to really develop, I enjoyed the stories towards the end of the book more, especially the ones that revisited characters introduced in earlier stories, I recognized some of the places mentioned in the book, so that was neat, There were some

interesting themes that should lead to a good discussion in November, I hope, Usually I know why I don't like a book, but I'm finding it hard in this case, The protagonists in all these stories is basically the same guy an Americanborn FrenchCanadian, dealing with issues of identity, The stories are bereft of any lightness or humour, and the character is an unlikeable drip, A bit like Woody Allen without the humour, I slogged through the stories hoping for a gem, or at least a change of pace, but I didn't find it, Very disappointing.
