Reviews

"Unique and daring . . . further evidence of this ambitious young publisher’s determination to offer Canadian and international audiences original, exciting new work from Quebec. " —Joe Schreiber, roughghosts. com

"An intriguing experiment . . . bringing the practice of translation out of the shadows and calling attention to its variants and nuances. " —Steven Beattie, Quill & Quire

"Yet another exceptional title from QC Fiction. Stimulating, emotional, and provocative reading. " —James Fisher, The Miramichi Reader

"This offbeat collection of stories provides insights into the process of translation, raising the question of how one can truthfully replicate the stories of complex characters. " —Thomas H. Brennan, Foreword Reviews

"Even more daring and innovative than QC’s usual output . . . these are wonderful snapshots that reveal a whole life of a spectrum of individual types . . . deeply moving . . . honest and raw . . . Let me end by just recommending this collection for its unique take on the nature of translation by providing some excellent, brief but powerful stories and some thoughtful, stimulating translators’ insights. " —Simon Lavery, tredynasdays. co. uk
