In Montreal's restless immigrant community, our unnamed narrator is
living in despair. Forced to visit a therapist after a suicide
attempt, he brings us back to his childhood in a war-torn country,
forward into his current life in the smoky emigre cafes where
everyone has a tale, and out into the frozen nighttime streets of
Montreal, where he imagines himself to be a cockroach invading the
lives of the privileged, but willfully blind, citizens who surround
him. Cockroach is a carnivalesque, philosophical novel that weaves
dark humor with an accusatory, satirical voice, spawning from the
subsurface to challenge humanity and its downfall."
