About the Author

Joséphine Samuels is Mario Cantin's third novel.

A lifelong autodidact, he has spent decades pursuing subjects that captured his curiosity—from artistic masonry and music composition to economics, marketing, language, and philosophy. Rather than specializing in a single discipline, he has devoted himself to understanding how the same patterns recur across seemingly unrelated fields, and what the thread is that runs through all of them.

That same curiosity shaped Joséphine Samuels.
