Description
Louis, a young queer man, lives in Pointe-aux-Trembles, in Montreal’ s east end, with his rap-obsessed, schizophrenic brother and their terminally ill father. While working at a Tim Horton’ s, Louis dreams of becoming a stand-up comedian. Delivered in short, addictive chapters, All Kidding Aside deftly juggles themes of love, class, and grief with poetic mockery and spare, electric banter.

Advance Praise
“All Kidding Aside (…) takes its readers on a journey into a world woven with turbulent adventures, offering a deep and captivating exploration of brotherly love, precarity, and grief.” – Alice Laforce, le Nouvelliste
“In Jean-Christophe Réhel’s (…) ‘love letter to comedy’, the poet and screenwriter wrestles with themes that challenge, yet never dip into pity. The winner of the Prix littéraire des collégiens celebrates the beauty the everyday… and laughs about it.”- Radio-Canada"
