May Our Joy Endure by Kevin Lambert, translated by Donald Winkler (Sep 10, 2024), was featured in Quill & Quire’s 2024 Fall Fiction Preview. The list was published online on July 24, and you can check out the full preview here.
Attila Berki writes,
“Like his previous works, including Querelle of Roberval, Kevin Lambert’s new novel has garnered acclaim and won multiple awards in the original French. A philosophical critique of the ultra-privileged, it tells of a famous architect who returns to her hometown and creates a furor with a widely condemned Montreal megaproject.”
May Our Joy Endure was also reviewed (in French) in Fugues. The review was posted on July 21, and you can read it here.
Reviewer Benoit Migneault writes,
“[A] translation . . . that masterfully captures the quality of the original text. As a reminder, May Our Joy Endure brilliantly explores and satirizes the world of the ultra-rich, the galloping gentrification of neighborhoods, and the incestuous and parasitic links between political and economic circles.”
