2016., Adult, House of Anansi Call No: Fic Bla Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "What anxiety grips Petites Cendres as he runs towards the sea in the sunshine on a warm tropical morning? Shouldn't he be reassured by the thought that he now lives at the Acacia Gardens, a comfortable home where all find care, understanding, and healing? How can Fleur, the young musical prodigy, listen to the diabolical confessions of Wrath, the fugitive priest, without shuddering? And, can Daniel the writer finish his novel, the one he has been working on for twenty years, despite his sensitivity and empathy for all creatures, even if they are the most humble, like the lizard he inadvertently crushed under his sandal? With this latest novel, Marie-Claire Blais once again gives us a vibrant portrait that embraces the span of life--from birth to death and beyond. Her characters question their purpose and what will come after, as they are confronted by evil that lives and that has taken root."--From publisher.

2012., Adult, Boréal Call No: QWF FR Fic Bla Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Un homme, un écrivain, dans un aéroport d'une île du Sud dont les fenêtres laissent voir la mer, est retenu captif à cause du retard de son vol. Un adolescent musicien, ancien enfant prodige, vivant dans la rue en compagnie de son chien, se demande de quoi sera fait son repas du soir. Petites Cendres, qui ne danse plus et ne chante plus avec les autres travestis comme autrefois, refuse de sortir de son lit pour assister au couronnement de la reine des nuits. En superposant ces trois univers, Marie-Claire Blais poursuit son ambitieux projet de déchiffrement du monde que constitue la suite romanesque intitulée Soifs. À mesure que l'immense fresque s'approche de son achèvement, la romancière cerne de plus en plus près ses personnages, nous faisant partager leur palpitante humanité."--Boréal.

They open their arms to those who are excluded both men and women, triumphant and threatened, both free and bound and every evening is a carnival of freedom and transgression.With this masterful novel, Blais invites us to share the drama of perfect joy, the tragedy of happiness, and she gives us her best work yet.

2010., Adult, Boréal Call No: QWF FR Fic Bla Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Centré sur la vie de quelques marginaux, travestis dont les nuits se déroulent au Saloon, un roman au souffle ample et au déploiement complexe, qui reprend et approfondit la manière et la matière des derniers romans de l'auteure depuis ##Soifs## (1997), dans une même écriture qui se présente en un seul paragraphe fait de longues coulées verbales où alternent les voix: vaste polylogue où se bousculent consciences et situations.
