For me Literature always tells us more about the human condition than does our history books so there is something wonderful and enlightening about bringing the great characters of fiction to life in local ways such as the Bloomsday celebrations in Dublin or the statues of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza in the Plaza de Espana in Madrid.
And while there is Bonnheur d’occasion subtly inscribed in a wall in the Place Saint Henri Metro station it would be great to see a sculpture on street level that brings the novel to life, or a Fennario scene in Verdun or The Point, not to mention having Duddy Kravitz standing outside of Wilensky’s…Michel Tremblay…and too many others to list here…
