Volkswagen blues (Pocket Book)

The vastness and diversity of the Canadian scenery seem to mirror the characters' inner journeys. Did the author draw inspiration from specific places or stories about these regions?

The mix of cultural references added layers to the story, but I wonder if the author aimed to explore the connection between French and Canadian identities through this choice.

I appreciated the introspection, but at times it felt like the story paused. Was this deliberate to deepen the characters’ inner worlds?
