Black Notebook

"In the heart of the Latin Quarter, meeting place of marginal characters of all sorts, Celine Poulin works the night shift at a cheap and popular restaurant, the Select, serving hamburger platters and spaghetti and meatballs to student misfits, transvestites, hookers, and queens from the Main - Montreal's colourful Saint-Laurent Boulevard. Hanging out with a theatre company in her off hours, Celine sees opening before her a world where it is not only possible, but even desirable to pretend. When the director offers her a role in The Trojan Women, the die is cast." "The Black Notebook is Celine's diary, her account of her trials and tribulations, her expectations and her cruel disappointments, because this young waitress at the Select has her own dramatic story to tell, even if only to herself: Celine is a midget."--BOOK JACKET.Tremblay, Michel is the author of 'Black Notebook ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780889225435 and ISBN 0889225435.
