Summary:
Fleeing his financial troubles and his bad drug habits, FrÔedÔeric Latouche leaves Montreal for Port-au-Prince. He then gets a job as a professor at the French International College, befriends Frantz, Don Juan, a math professor, and Georges, the globetrotting former communist. At the Sunset Bar and Grill in Port-au-Prince, FrÔedÔeric meets expatriates like GÔerard, the perverted Santa Claus. He finally settles in the Ballivet hotel where he witnesses, despite himself, an odious trafficking in humanitarian foodstuffs. When love arises between him and beautiful Louisiana, FrÔedÔeric finds himself forced to question his tacit complicity with the owner of Ballivet. Will Lustucru, the brave clown without borders, provide the solution to the Quebec professor's problems? With Blanc Bonsoir, Jean-Marc Beausoleil once again offers us a beautiful gallery of flamboyant characters, which this time is directly inspired by his personal experience as a French teacher in Port-au-Prince. I know Paradise. It is located a little over two hours by car from Port-au-Prince. To be precise, Le Paradis is an old tourist complex that is almost completely abandoned today. The scraps of a poster still announce: “aradis rop cal”. Le Paradis is made up of a dozen houses of which only three or four are still standing. It is possible to rent one for a very low price. The good thing is that they are located just a few steps from the beach. Blue water, white sand, sun. Young, barely clad children, cherubs, fish for lobsters and conch, pick mangoes which they sell, perfectly prepared, for a few gourdes.
