Translated by Anne Louise Mahoney.
Jules was born two minutes after Jim and can't shake his role as tagalong for the duration of the friends' lives, during which they join the Canadian army in 1914 and fight Germany together. French Canadian author Goldstyn, whose art has the loose-lined, urbane look of New Yorker cartoons, ingeniously blends a friendship story with a devastating tale of World War I.
