2010., Héliotrope Call No: QWF FR Fic Sco Edition: Ed. français. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: [Resumé en anglas, livre en français] A Canadian woman keeps an extraordinary journal of her time in a Parisian studio. Not a typical tourist, she prefers indoor spaces, seeing Paris go by on TV or watching from her window the ever-changing displays of men's designer clothing across the boulevard. Or she roams the streets, caught between nostalgia and a competing sense of the present day, between Paris's rich cultural traditions and the realities of Western imperialism. Disillusioned by her inability to reconcile these contradictions and by her own part in perpetuating them, she assembles in her journal pieces of the present, past, of art, philosophy, of herself, and of the world outside her, pulling them together on the page in a very personal act of subversion and creation.

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.
