Thomas Saint-Jacques boit. C’est la raison pour laquelle il a été congédié de la bibliothèque municipale où il travaillait comme concierge depuis quatre ans. Saint-Jacques crache alors son amertume, sa colère, sa hargne ; son fils se cache ; sa mère est placée. Dans la petite ville de Sainte-Famille, c’est le désespoir, la rage. La chute inévitable. Puis c’est au tour de sa femme, battue, de prendre la parole et, enfin, à celui de leur fils, qui passera de la parole aux actes.

Noir, dur, sans complaisance, (Sainte-Famille) est coupé à la hache, formellement audacieux, étouffant de solitude. Mais c’est surtout formidablement efficace et puissant.
