Some Night My Prince Will Come Review

Tremblay has said in interviews that he doesn't want to be a "gay writer" and his work, although often invested with gay themes and characers, is evidence that he means what he says. But Some Night My Pnice Will Come (La Nuit des Princes Charmants) is the only coming out novel I ever read that was funny, moving, sad, and... true to the core. And did I say funny? I am delighted thati it is in English so my friends who are tired of hearing me rave about it can just go read it themselves. And be prepared for the character Francois, a musician who comes and goes in this novel and then reappears in a later novel (shades of Balzac and Proust) titled "55 minutes 55 seconds". Read both, they are each (and both) wonderful. It's not a question of a "gay novel" but rather of a wonderful novel with many gay characters. An if you've read "The Fat Lady Next Door is Pregnant" through to the end when the fat lady (Tremblay's mother??) gives birth to the baby she carries throughout the novel (Michel Tremblay????) you'll be fascinated by the mother-son relatiionship in this novel (Prince) eighteen years later.

Some Night My Prince Will Come Overview

An evening at the opera spills out onto the street and into an odyssey through Montreal by night. The narrator, both innocent and cynical, rushes headlong down what appears to be the road to ruin-or perhaps merely to the loss of his virginity. We follow him from a café called El Cortijo (Spanish for a country house with a farm building attached) to a nightclub called the Four Corners of the World. This is an urban metaphor for the classic story of the shrewd country boy bedazzled and led astray by the bright lights of the big city. We discover along with him a burlesque world of transgression and madness, where pleasures are far from simple and love is somewhat less than pure. On the street, as at the opera, passions are on the loose and truth and falsehood leave their marks in the service of the urgencies of desire. Will our hero find love and pleasure after all? This evocative account of his adventure is stamped with the ironic and the affectionate wit and humour that characterize all of Michel Tremblay's novels and memoirs.Drawing its fiction from many of the autobiographical sketches to be found in Bambi and Me, Twelve Opening Acts and Birth of a Bookworm, and from a collision of the Francophone east and the Anglophone west of Montreal, this novel marks a hiatus between Tremblay's six-volume Chroniques and his more contemporary novel, The Heart Laid Bare.
