Description:
Vancouver, BC: Talonbooks, 1988. Soft cover. Very Good. SIGNED BY MICHEL TREMBLAY on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; very minimal wear; appears unread; This play returns to the very source of creative work, that notorious first play which supposedly contains the scenes of everything yet to come. And ultimately, it confronts the question: did I have it right? Do I still have it right? This is the fundamental question that this play asks.
