Cape Breton is the Thought-Control Centre of Canada by Ray Smith

Sophisticated, playful, and extremely funny, this collection begins the career of one of Canada's best humorists and storytellers. Featuring the adventures of Patchouli the Passionate, Sweet William, Paleologue, Passquick, Purlieu, Jasper, and Angus, with guest cameos by G.K. Chesterton and painter Raphael Santi, these odd Acadian episodes have delighted for decades.
Ray Smith: A native of Mabou, Cape Breton, to which he has returned, Ray Smith lived in Montreal for forty years, where he taught English literature at Dawson College. His books include A Night at the Opera (winner of the 1992 Qspell Hugh MacLennan Prize for Fiction), Lord Nelson Tavern, Century, and The Flush of Victory: Jack Bottomly Among the Virgins, all published by Biblioasis.
