Endnote 37: 'Wheelchair.'

The entire endnote, glossing "fauteuil de rollent" in the serial's opener: one word, a hundred-odd pages of A.F.R. menace compressed to its flattest possible translation. The deadpan is the point — the fauteuil demystified into a mobility aid at the same moment the novel is building it into Québec's most feared weapon.
