About this ebook
On Wednesday December 6th, 1989, Marc Lépine entered the Université de Montréal's École Polytechnique engineering school armed with a semi-automatic rifle and a hunting knife. He opened fire in what was Canada's first, and bloodiest, school shooting. The death toll, of fourteen women, remains an infamous legacy the world over.
"The Anorak" is a ninety-minute dramatic monologue told from the point-of-view of the perpetrator himself. Addressing the audience, who have been divided in advance between men and women, he recounts the events of his life which have led him to first take the lives of innocent women, and then his own.
