Description:
The Lelarge family quietly runs its little seafood empire from Quebec’s North Shore. But when an elegant visitor is dispatched by a mysterious Japanese conglomerate to their isolated fishing village, things will never be the same again. Because Mori Ishikawa has a secret invention: Ori. And it’s destined to change the course of human history.

“One of the best Quebec novels of the past ten years . . . already a must-read in Quebec literature. The first thing that struck me when I finished Everything is Ori was how polished it was. I could barely believe a debut author could steer such a solid novel to completion, a novel that features the most tightly woven of intrigues driven by a remarkably complex cast of surprising characters.” (Annabelle Moreau, Prix Robert-Cliche jury member, editor Lettres québécoises magazine)
“The most daring reading experience of the year.” (Le Devoir)
“Everything is… mindblowing!” (Josée Boileau, Journal de Montréal)
“Wow! The Prix Robert-Cliche is awarded to a debut novel . . . and for once this year the jury was unanimous in voting Everything is Ori the winner. Reading this irresistible, indefinable game-changer of a story, you can see why.” (Iris Gagnon-Paradis, ???? La Presse)
“Paul Serge Forest’s dazzling debut novel crushes the competition . . . This book is a rare and precious literary happening . . . Well written, impressively put together, and remarkably inventive.” (Thomas Dupont-Buist, ????? Lettres québécoises magazine)
“a playful, absurd world, somewhere between the Coen brothers, John Irving, and 1990s Japanese video games.” (Anne-Frédérique Hébert-Dolbec, Le Devoir)
“Buckle up for a wild read! This unexpected novel is a breath of fresh air. It’s intelligent, surprising, delicious (and sometimes a little gross). Ori gets under your skin… and changes everything. A real treat!” (Shannon Desbiens, Les Libraires magazine)
