Or, more importantly, letting Peru have the guano--\"white gold\"--on the Chincha Islands. Simón is the ship's recorder on a scientific--okay, military--expedition when he meets, in Callao, the mysterious Montse. She asks of him only that he write her letters. Which he utterly fails to do. As military tensions escalate, so does Simón's unabated lust for Montse -- even if he can't bring himself to do anything about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLouis Carmain \u003c\/b\u003elives in Gatineau, Quebec. \u003ci\u003eGuano\u003c\/i\u003e, his first novel, received the prestigious Prix littéraire des collégiens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRhonda Mullins\u003c\/b\u003e's translation of Jocelyne Saucier's \u003ci\u003eAnd the Birds Rained Down \u003c\/i\u003ewas a 2015 CBC Canada Reads selection.
