Cr�ticas:

One of my favorite writers in the world is Jacques Poulin. --Rawi Hage

This is a great and very beautiful novel. --Le Devoir

Poulin shares a mix of detached humor, fantasy, and compassion with Vonnegut and Salinger. --Saskatoon Star-Phoenix

The writer hiding from the world in his house on the beach is as shy and charming and friendly as this light, generous, refreshing novel. . . told with Hemingway-like sparseness and minimal melodrama...Poulin earns his lump-in-the-throat ending. --Shelf Awareness

Spring had arrived.

The day was so mild that I came down from the attic earlier than usual. I went out on the beach with Mr. Blue and walked to the end of the bay. I was taking a little rest, sitting on a rock that faced the river, when suddenly I noticed some footprints in the sand.

Out of curiosity, I placed my own foot in one of the prints. I was surprised to observe that they were exactly the same size. And yet these were not my prints . . .

Arguably Jacques Poulin's masterpiece, this tender and perceptive tale explores the textures of solitude, compassion, language, fear, and the imagination. Meet Jim: a writer suffering from vivid dreams and bouts of writer's block. Meet Mister Blue, a dignified and prophetic cat and Jim's sole companion that spring on the Ile d'Orl�ans. That is, until the day they discover a copy ofThe Arabian Nights in a cave along the beach. Tinged with heartbreak as well as joy,Mister Blue is a novel of subtle shadows and emotions, of wide-open blue skya ballet of the possible.

Born in the Beauce region of Qu�bec, Jacques Poulin is the author of fourteen novels. Among his many honors are the Governor General's Award, the 1990 and 2000 Molson Prize for the Arts, the Gilles-Corbeil Prize, and the France-Qu�bec Prize. He lives in Qu�bec City, Qu�bec.
