One day in November he and his father go sailing with his ailing grandfather aboard his sailboat Grognard and they discuss how fed up they are with their lives.

About Patrick J. F. Quere:

PATRICK JOHN FÉLIX QUÉRÉ (pronounced 'kay-ray') was born and raised in Hollywood, Florida where he currently resides in tolerable misery. His highest ambition in life was to do absolutely nothing, but in an intense two-week spell of disgust and hate he wrote Grognard (pronounced ‘groy-nar’), a somewhat autobiographical novel. He is now at work on a political manifesto and a science fiction novel about God.

From the publisher:

"This book is simultaneously dark and entertaining - like a blend of 'Fargo' and 'Pulp Fiction'. It is the 'Stand By Me' for the current generation of over-educated under-achievers in a land of fading opportunity. While some readers may be offended by the abrasiveness of the anger of the protagonist, his rants and conundrums of truth will challenge one's conscience and engage the reader politically, morally and ethically. In the end, the story is about individual, family, community and country. Is there light at the end of the tunnel for poor Felix?"
