Description
Hailed by critics as a “first-rate short story writer” (Michel Lord, Lettres québécoises), Lise Gauvin explores ever-changing feelings in a world where the ease of travel contains its share of unpredictability and surprises. This clear-headed observer of the social scene combines intricate detail with a larger picture conveyed in forms that are new each time in a style pared down to the essentials, free of artifice and pathos. Each short story is a sequence snatched from passing life, a parenthesis excerpted from day-to-day existence examined with clinical precision.
