La Guess, Yes Sir! is a wedding, a funeral, and best of all, a full company of Carrier's joyful, blaspheming, vigorous characters.

In this tragi-comic novel of 1967, French and English are thrown together during World War II as a French Canadian soldier killed at war is returned to his Quebec village by seven English Canadian soldiers. Tensions between French and English which still haunt Canada are conveyed in this story.
