About the Book

Michel Tremblay considers Bonjour, Là, Bonjour to be the best of all his works. "In Bonjour, Là, Bonjour, I apprehended the most of what I wanted to do in the theatre--to take out everything that is not strictly necessary."

This new substantially revised translation by John Van Burek and Bill Glassco updates their original English translation of Bonjour, Là, Bonjour which has been available from Talonbooks since 1975.
