William Weintraub City Unique: Montreal Days and Nights in the 1940s and '50s
McClelland & Stewart 1998 0771089740 / 9780771089749 Paperback Like New
"'New clean, tight, unmarked (Fine), no spine or cover creases, some light wear to extremities, Montreal in the 1940s and '50s was Canada's largest, richest, most vibrant and colourful city. It was, at the end of those prosperous decades, ''bursting at the seams,'' still growing, still far ahead of Toronto. No one then could foresee the rise of Quebec separatism, which would cripple the city, and send it into its long decline. Weintraub introduces the reader to many of the extraordinary characters who gave Montreal its singular flavour. They include Camillien Houde, the mayor who was interned during the war for advocating treason: Lili St. Cyr, the ultimate striptease artiste, who mesmerized men and boys: Maurice Duplessis, the dictatorial premier who could evict individuals from their homes if he suspected they were communist: Harry Ship, the czar of illegal gambling dens: and Anna Beauchamp, the flamboyant madam who operated a string of at least a dozen brothels.''
