2015., Dalkey Archive Press Call No: QWF 843.6 B665a Edition: First ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Atavisms is an original and unsettling portrait of Quebec, from the hinterland to the metropolis, from colonial times to the present, and beyond. These thirteen stories, though not linked in the traditional sense, abound in common threads. Like family traits passed down through the generations, the attitudes and actions of a rich cast of characters reverberate, quietly but deeply, over generations. Here is a group portrait of the individual lives that together shape a collective history. Atavisms has been shortlisted for the 2014 Jan Michalski Prize for Literature.

2016., Adult, Coach House Books Call No: QWF Fic Boc Edition: First English edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "A young, floundering author meets Robert 'Baloney' Lacerte, an older, marginal poet who seems to own nothing beyond his unwavering certainty. Over the course of several evenings, Lacerte recounts his unrelenting quest for poetry, which has taken him from Quebec's Boreal forests to South America to East Montreal, where he seems poised to disappear without a trace. But as the blocked writer discovers, Lacerte might just be full of it."--From publisher.
