Don Quixote meets Who Framed Roger Rabbit in this slapstick epic about destiny, family demons, and revenge. Set in 1911, the story revolves around a hockey game in Quebec's Gaspé Peninsula. In overtime, local tough guy Billy Joe Pictou fires the puck directly into Monti Bouge's mouth, resulting in a goal that Victor Bradley, an erstwhile referee and local mailman, rules counts. Monti's ensuing revenge for this injustice spans three generations, one hundred years, and dozens of dastardly deeds. Fueled by a bottomless supply of Yukon, a high-proof hooch that may or may not cause the hallucinatory sightings of a technicolor beast that haunts not just Monti but his descendants, it's up to Monti's grandson François—and his floundering doctoral dissertation—to make sense of the vendetta that's shaped the destiny of their town and everyone in it. Brilliantly translated into slapstick English by Lazer Lederhendler, The Hollow Beast introduces Christophe Bernard as a master of epic comedy.
