A very special book full of humour, irony, reminiscences, nostalgia. Marty Gervais is a master storyteller and successfully brings small town life and its people back to life in these sketches. He was raised as a staunch Roman Catholic in Windsor, Ontario, a border town, in the shadow of Detroit, the son of an auto worker. The 1950s was an era obsessed with morality, followed by the hope and turmoil of the 1960s.

Marty Gervais was a keen and insightful chronicler of all decades in his capacity as one of the best journalist in Southwesten Ontario, writing for the Windsor Star. Afternoons with the Devil brings together his best writing over those many decades.
