SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Guilt Trippers by Philippe Mineau (Ottawa)
DESCRIPTION:The Guilt Trippers is one of CBC’s top fiction titles for 2026! \nABOUT THE BOOK\nMoe Tremblay is struggling with domesticity. New to Montréal\, his wife climbs the corporate law ladder while he stays home with the kids. It sounded like a good idea. Then Dean shows up. Enticing him with tales of grime and glory\, he convinces Moe to join his band\, Guilt Trip.This opens the door to a world of aging musician journeymen and a local music scene that is soiled and sexy\, alluring and dangerous. The Guilt Trippers is a darkly funny and moving take on modern parenthood\, the Montréal music scene\, and some of the musicians who call it home. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nPhilippe Mineau\, a life partner and father to two young boys\, has worked in a lab coat firing lasers at proteins in Denmark\, played accordion for jazz manouche and Forró bands\, worked as an illegal migrant fruit picker and farm labourer\, and written policy on psychedelic drugs for the federal government.He currently runs a music studio in Montreal’s Little Italy\, plays in the pop rock band Radio Patente\, and tries to spend as much of his summers as possible on the water\, canoe paddle in hand. The Guilt Trippers is his first novel. He lives in Montreal.
