2020., Playwrights Canada Press Call No: NEW QWF 812.6 S555b Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: An eviscerating satire of gender roles in popular culture, Beautiful Man imagines a world in which women are the subjects and men the objects. As three women dissect the latest Hollywood blockbuster, narrative after narrative of strong female characters fold into each other, fusing into a brutally recognizable story. In Unit B-1717, a woman is trying to clean out her storage locker and say goodbye to the past, but an overwhelming feeling of dread forces her to confront the way she has historically subjugated herself to the needs of others. In And then there was you, a mother addresses her child as they both visit milestones that offered them each independence, and in the process explores how the profound connection between mother and child evolves.

c2010., Coach House Books Call No: QWF Fic Sco Edition: 1st ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Rosine is surrounded by ghosts: of her family, her past loves, an old Montreal and its politics. She's haunted by the shale pit workers who, in the 1880's, frequented the Crystal Palace grounds upon whose site her Mile-End triplex sits, as well as by an ancient Parisian gendarme lurking in her stairwell and by her dead maternal family, restless from a lifetime of denial of their Indigenous ancestry. It's possible that Rosine herself is a ghost - after all, it's not like her to miss a therapy session. But the Obituary is no whodunnit. As the evanescent Rosine's narrative splinters into three - a prurient fly buzzing over the action, a politically correct historian and a woman on a bus or lying in bed - the central question becomes one of who speaks when we speak. With irrepressible verve, this kaleidoscopic mystery about the crooked itinerary of assimilation under duress in Montréal and the West catapults the novel form into the millennium."--Inside front cover.
