Fences in Breathing — Nicole Brossard

Nominated for the 2009 Writers' Trust Award for Fiction!

Invited to a quiet Swiss chateau by the enigmatic Tatiana, Anne begins to slowly write a novel in a language that is not her own. Will the strange intoxication that takes hold of her and her characters allow her to break through the darkness of the world? First published and critically lauded in French as La capture du sombre, and translated by the celebrated Susanne de Lotbinière-Harwood, Fences In Breathing is another triumph by one of North America's foremost practitioners of innovative writing.
