Deux premiers volets de l'autobiographie inachevée que G. Roy écrivit entre 1976 et 1983. Les années de formation de l'auteure, de l'enfance franco-manitobaine au retour d'Europe à la veille de la Seconde Guerre mondiale (1939). Un régal.

Peut-on voyager à dos de baleine ? Quel est le meilleur remède contre l'insomnie : la lecture parcours ou la lecture par coeur ? Est-il possible qu'un rossignol de trois mètres de long offre un peu de lecture à notre oreille ? Que retenir de notre passage dans une "biblioville" ? Et que vient faire l'Homme au casque d'or de Rembrandt dans ce Petit éloge de la lecture ? De nos pieds au ciel étoilé, tout est lecture... Pef nous entraîne dans un voyage sans autre destination que celle du plaisir de lire.

"Although Dan only knew the cognitively disabled bowler, LeRoy Buchholz, a few short years, the impression he left on him was everlasting. After leaving Wisconsin, Dan moved around from state to state until LeRoy's passing brought him back to the river valley of La Crosse. During his trek back, Dan recalls the time he spent with LeRoy and the array of unbelievable events that unfolded during those years"--Back cover.
