In 1911, in a hockey game in Quebec's Gaspé Peninsula, local tough guy Billy Joe Pictou fires the puck into Monti Bouge's mouth. When Monti collapses with his head across the goal line, Victor Bradley, erstwhile referee and local mailman, rules that the goal counts. Monti's ensuing revenge for this injustice sprawls over three generations, one hundred years and dozens of alcohol-soaked tall tales, from treachery in northern gold-mining camps to the appearance of a legendary beast by turns playful and ferocious. It's up to Monti's grandson, François, to make sense of the vendetta between Monti and Bradley that has shaped the destiny of their town and everyone who lives there. In a sumptuous, unpredictable language and slapstick comedy, Christophe Bernard reveals himself as a master of epic storytelling."-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a Translation of: La bête creuse. 650 0 $a Hockey $x Officiating $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Revenge $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Vendetta $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Hockey stories. 651 0 $a QueÌbec (Province) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Novels $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Epic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Sports fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 655 7 $a Romans eÌpiques. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000314 776 08 $i Online version: $a Bernard, Christophe, 1982- $s Bête creuse.
