Praise for May Our Joy Endure "Baroque and philosophical, May Our Joy Endure captures the sensibilities and excesses of the elite. A novel about the housing crisis told from the perspective of those causing it. Lambert captures how the ultra-wealthy justify their actions and sing their own praises while the population is crushed beneath their eloquent tapestry of lies. Lambert's writing is lyrical and rapturous. In this book, he proves himself a satirical and whimsical Robespierre, hailing from small town Quebec." --Heather O'Neill, author of When We Lost Our Heads "Award-winning Canadian novelist Lambert weaves a hypnotic narrative, smoothly translated from French by Winkler, about greed and inequality, hypocrisy, and, not least, a 'dangerous notion of purity' . An astute critique of entrenched power." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "From its opening pages, the novel offers a trenchant social critique in a chaotic unspooling of words--Lambert's prose is relentless as perspectives shift rapidly with scant stops for respite.

" --Marcie McCauley, Rain Taxi Review "Like his previous works, including Querelle of Roberval, Kevin Lambert's new novel has garnered acclaim and won multiple awards in the original French. A philosophical critique of the ultra-privileged, it tells of a famous architect who returns to her hometown and creates a furor with a widely condemned Montreal megaproject." --Attila Berki, Quill & Quire "Winner of the Prix Médicis, Lambert's sharp, provocative third novel embeds ever-timely themes--greed, hypocrisy and privilege--in a narrative that blends satire and lyricism, whimsy and voyeurism." --Hephzibah Anderson, The Observer Praise for Querelle of Roberval "It has finally arrived: the erotic Québécois novel about labor conflict that we've all been waiting for . The book is written in an icy style. Try to find a surplus adjective--I dare you. It is not for the squeamish but (or rather, and) is easily one of the best novels I've read this year." --Molly Young, New York Times "As this off-putting yet attractively written novel explores both meanings of the word 'union,' sex and domination are presented as conjoined compulsions that can lead to brutal forms of ecstasy.

" --Sam Sacks, Wall Street Journal "Structured as a reimagining of Greek tragedy, Querelle of Roberval is a book that reads like a swift, vivid dream. The language is direct and cuts straight to the bone, while dealing with passions both personal and professional . Brutal and beautiful by turns, this novel will grip readers from the first sentence all the way to its shocking conclusion." --David Vogel, Buzzfeed.
