MILE END

Mile End, Montreal. In a whimsical and humorous tone, Michel Hellman presents anecdotes and slices of life inspired by Mile End, a colorful and history-rich Montreal neighborhood. Drawing a parallel with his own experience, the author tells the story of the metamorphosis that this now-mythical area of the metropolis underwent in the early 2000s. This 15th-anniversary edition of Mile End is augmented by a preface by Heather O'Neill (author ofHotel Lonely Hearts) and a previously unpublished epilogue by Michel Hellman.
