Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Nicole Brossard’s lucid, subversive and innovative work on language has influenced an entire generation of readers and writers. But three of her seminal works of postmodernism and feminism have been lost to us for years. The Blue Books brings them back.

A Book: A novel about a novel; five characters in search of a narrative, a narrative in search of an author. Brossard’s first novel, and a key work in Canadian postmodernism. Turn of a Pang (Sold-out in French): Quebec’s 1943 Conscription Crisis and the 1970 War Measures Act weave together to form the texture of a woman’s life. French Kiss: a celebration of the energy of women and language in the face of the male authorities of Montreal politics and the physical authority of the printed (and bound) word.

The Blue Books collects these three long-out-of-print, groundbreaking Brossard titles, in their original Coach House Press English translations (A Book by Larry Shouldice, Turn of a Pang and French Kiss by the acclaimed Patricia Claxton). Don’t be blue: these Brossard classics are back!
