Claude Tremblay works as a political analyst at the International Criminal Court at The Hague. But when the Congolese warlord Kabanga, accused of crimes against humanity, is released from trial due to a procedural error, Claude resigns his post and follows the accused back to his home country in search of justice. In The World, the Lizard, and Me, Gil Courtemanche writes a stirring and contemporary Heart of Darkness, utterly compelling in its portrayal of Western ideals submerged in the global politics of poverty and violence.
Gil Courtemanche is the author of A Sunday at the Pool in Kigali, which won a Governor General’s Literary Award and was adapted into a full-length feature film. David Homel has twice won the Governor General’s Literary Award for Translation. This book is set for simultaneous release in the United Kingdom.
