Montreal In 15 Chapters is a compilation of stories taking place in
Montreal, from the story of a translator in the Quebec government to the
wanderings of a homeless person on the streets. Some of the spots
mentioned now only exist in our memories, such as the Hawaiian Lounge,
which was a bar for cross-dressers, or Parthenais Prison. Robert
Markland Smith loves describing offbeat characters in off-the-wall
unusual settings and situations. Sometimes the main character is a
woman, as in Peace that Passeth all Understanding. Mr Smith has been
writing since 1965 because he loves reading so much that he wants to
give this pleasure to other people.
