Thunder and Light

Originally published in 2001, the second volume in Blais' prize-winning Soifs series has been hailed as one of the greatest undertakings in modern Quebec fiction. Powered by its characters' gripping exploration of the world's dark corners, the novel is a teeming microcosm in which boundaries collapse and the extremes and contradictions that animate our times are reconciled.
