Too much light for Samuel Gaska

About this book

"This novella is a fictional account of one man's immigration to Quebec. It relates, in the first person, how Samuel Gaska, a failed composer of Polish origin, comes to give up music after doing time in prison in the Canadian West. Torn between the Old World and the New, he feels compelled to explore the origins of American immigration--Acadia, the Amerindians and the West. And delving into this mythology, he discovers that the birds were the first to come here and are the true guides for anyone wanting to settle in America."--
