Canadians tuned into radio get the official word sometime after 3 PM -- former Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau is dead at 80. And while the country busies itself dealing with the aftershock, the news topples Venus, a 50-something woman who suddenly, unexpectedly, embarks on a painful downward spiral through memories of a past relationship, including an extended flashback to 1968, the height of Trudeaumania and an incendiary time for passion and the imagination. Montreal, still pumped and aglow from Expo '67, is the Paris of North America and an exhilarating backdrop for new love. But Venus isn't the only one with memories to share...
Satie's Sad Piano is a long poem charting the convergent deaths of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, a love affair, and a fetus through the intersecting voices of an unlikely cast of characters -- among them Radio, Mont-Royal, a series of old love letters, and a modern-day apostle.
