Description
Factory Summers chronicles three summers spent working at a pulp and paper factory in Quebec City. Cartoonist Guy Delisle recounts his experiences in this hot, noisy building filled with arcane machinery. Delisle's outsider perspective shines through as he navigates the tensions of class and sexism in an all-male workplace. His father's career in white-collar offices is contrasted with his own physically demanding job, leaving room for reflection on their relationship. On his days off, Delisle finds solace in art, rediscovering comics at the public library and preparing for animation school - only to face disappointment.
