Get ready for a wild ride through the irreverent and hilarious memoirs of G., a young Italian boy growing up in 1960s Montreal. In this no-holds-barred account of his childhood, G. shares the good, the bad, and the downright infantile moments that shaped him. From his proud small businessman father to his wise cousin Joey, G. introduces us to a colorful cast of characters, including bullies, profanities, and hypocrites of all sorts.


But it's not just laughs and mischief: G. also sheds light on the harsh realities faced by Italian immigrants in Canada during the late 50s and early 60s, revealing their struggles against exploitation and discrimination. And he doesn't stop there - no institution, person, or authority figure is safe from G.'s unapologetic critiques, including the Catholic Church, the Canadian government, Expo 67, and even the President of Italy.


Unabashedly blasphemous, scandalous, and politically incorrect, G.'s memoir is not for the faint of heart. But for those willing to take the plunge, you're in for a hilarious, eye-opening, and unforgettable read that'll leave you howling with laughter and longing for more.
