From the Publisher
Eighteen-year-old Robbie Bookbinder is bummed out and bored, cut
adrift in the mid-1970s - the decade he calls The Great Hangover.
Sex feels outmoded, drugs don't seem to deliver like they used to,
and rock and roll's a bust in tired old Montreal. Quebec's arming
up for a cultural revolution, and bike gangs are warring in the
streets. In Robbie Bookbinder, we meet a character who embodies all
the potential, self-delusion, and resilience of contemporary youth.
All Robbie thinks he needs is a kick-start. What he gets is scared
half to death, as he discovers that life only improves when you
take a stand in it.
