Words Without Borders, an online magazine devoted to international literature, has published its
April issue which is devoted to writers from Quebec.
Elsa Pépin gives an overview of the current literary scene
here. And you can read a very funny short story about a book that literally takes over the world, by writer
Nicolas Dickner (author of
Nikolski and
Apocalypse for Beginners). It's called "The Zacharias Ascaris Affair" and you can read it
here. There is also a short story by
Dominique Fortier whose debut novel
On the Proper Use of Stars , translated by
Sheila Fischmann, was one of my Dewey picks last fall. You can read "Unagi"
here.
