Summary:
Il s’appelle HervÔe Jodoin, il a perdu son emploi de rÔepÔetiteur au collßege Saint-ÔEtienne, ßa MontrÔeal, et il est prÒet ßa accepter n’importe quel boulot, du moment qu’il y ait peu ßa faire et qu’on le laisse tranquille. Quand, au bureau de chÒomage, on lui propose un travail de commis dans la librairie d’un petit village, Saint-Joachim, ßa plusieurs heures de la grande ville, il n’hÔesite pas : “Saint-Joachim or elsewhere, I 'in swinging.' Presented in the form of a diary, as was L'ÔEtranger, Le Libraire is the first-person account of Jodoin's new existence, sunk in a dreary routine - the days spent at the LÔeon bookstore, the solitary drinking binges at the tavern at TrefflÔe where he drinks “an average of twenty bocks per evening”, on Sundays, mortals, where to kill time, he started this diary.
