Jean-Paul Dubois' Goncourt-winning novel, 'Not All People Live in the World the Same Way,' offers a deeply reflective and melancholic journey through the memories of Paul Hansen, a man imprisoned in Canada. As Paul recounts his life, from his father's struggling cinema in France to his quieter existence in Montreal, the narrative beautifully explores themes of exile, personal failures, and the poignant beauty found in overlooked lives. This contemplative work delves into the quiet dignity of individuals navigating an often indifferent world, offering a profound meditation on human connection and the unique ways we each inhabit our reality, despite life's profound disappointments.
