AN INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED LITERARY ICON: Marie-Claire Blais is a literary icon. Her work is treasured in Canada, and it is widely revered in the U.S. Her writing has been described as "magical, " "powerful, " and "enriching, " and her award-winning series about contemporary North America has been compared to works by Virginia Woolf. As her stature as a literary legend grows, House of Anansi wishes to aptly honour her oeuvre with special editions of her most acclaimed novels in English translation. A SEMINAL TRANSLATION: Sheila Fischman is the preeminent translator of French fiction in Canada and has twice received the Félix Antoine-Savard Award from the Translation Center at Columbia University. Her translation work has helped to spread a new generation of French voices across North America, including Michel Tremblay, Hubert Aquin, Jacques Poulin, Anne Hébert, and Kim Thúy. A SPECIAL REISSUE FOLLOWING AN ANTICIPATED NEW NOVEL: This A List reissue will land just a few short months after Marie-Claire Blais' newest novel in the Soifs cycle, A Twilight Celebration, publishes in June 2018. Reviewers and prize juries will surely be buzzing about the new work, and this will be an excellent time to reinvigorate Blais' impressive backlist for rediscovery and for a brand-new generation of readers.
