To all who knew him, Étienne Morneau lived unremarkably. Raised in an orphanage, his parents unknown, people considered him reserved, unfeeling, and antisocial. His death would have gone unnoticed were it not for his art and writing discovered afterwards. His secret drawings are proof of his artistic genius and his memoir, written in a kaleidoscope of thought and arranged like a dictionary, reveal the depth of his humanity and the uniqueness of his perception. Étienne's Alphabet is a celebration of life and of living, with an unforgettable protagonist who sees every moment as a miracle worth committing to canvas. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Etienne is an interesting narrator. He suffers from OCD and is very shy. He was raised in an institution, having never been adopted. He is a french Canadian, living in Toronto and working at a bank in the mid-1960s. He has, for these reasons, a unique perspective on the world. He struggles to talk about himself and his feelings and seeks structure, which leads him to write his story has a series of dictionary-like entries in alphabetical order.
Mr. King has given us a unique narrative form to match the personality of his main character. The form tells us almost as much as the words themselves about Etienne and his life. (
