Listening for Jupiter

March soon, and it's already 28 C in Montreal. Hollywood is living a dead-end life working at the local graveyard. Meanwhile, it's snowing non-stop all over Europe and in Toronto, where Xavier works for a pharmaceutical company he couldn't care less about. The two meet somewhere in between... only ever in their dreams. This fresh, international novel weaves the fates of two unlikely friends whose days and nights are filled with movies and music, sleeping pills and shooting stars. A beautiful piece of magical realism with a modern, existential twist. Madeleine Stratford translates the voice of Hollywood, while Arielle Aaronson translates Xavier's sections.
