Multiple plot lines interweave with twentieth-century literary allusions as hapless bureaucrat P. attempts to secure delivery of a valuable cultural relic. Patrice Martin's ticklish tip of the hat to the writing of Franz Kafka also evokes the literary techniques of Jorge Luis Borges, Italo Calvino, and Paul Auster.
Polymath Patrice Martin is a writer, musician, and politician who is a former clerk in Canada's House of Commons, and currently is a Gatineau city councilor. He confesses his working life in government bureaucracy helped shape this, his first novel.
Chantal Bilodeau is a New York-based playwright and translator originally from Montreal, Quebec.

Born in 1963 in Montérégie, Quebec, polymath Patrice Martin is a writer, musician, and politician - he currently serves as a Gatineau city council member and is a former clerk in Canada's House of Commons. He concedes his working life in government bureaucracy helped shaped his first novel, the deliciously absurd Kafka's Hat. In 1994 he co-authored, with Patrick Savidan, La culture de la dette [The Culture of Debt]. Martin holds a degree in political science from the University of Ottawa.
