Description

"An essential read." -Citizens' Press
A candid memoir which chronicles everyday life in Montreal, Mile End deftly blends humor and fantasy to paint a portrait of a community as it changes over the years, from a working-class enclave to a haven for starving artists and poor students to inevitably becoming the city's hippest (and most gentrified) neighborhood. Full of charming anecdotes from a decade of the author's own life as he passes from carefree youth to fatherhood and hilarious flights of fancy that know no limits, this wild graphic memoir is an essential portrait of a neighborhood in flux.
