Description:
Winner of the 2016 Prix des Libraires<br><br>Winner of the 2016 Quebecor Prize for the Trois-Rivi&egrave;res Poetry Festival<br><br>Carole David's <i>The Year of My Disappearance</i> is a searing, surreal, darkly comic descent into a woman's psyche. From Governor General's Award winning translator, Donald Winkler, into English, comes this pitiless assault on the author's own torments and pretenses. Present here are figures lodged in her memory: lovers, strangers, her mother, and Bosch-like apparitions out of her dreams and imaginings. Through it all, a fierce combat is being waged between immolation and survival. As David has written, "I gave free range to the lives that dwelt within me." <i>It's down this road the blind spot sings.</i>
