Description: Fiction. Available again. It is October, 1980, the 10th anniversary of the October Crisis. In a bathtub in a rooming house near the city's heart, the Montreal's "Main," a woman is trying to negotiate her personal passage from Quebec's politically turbulent 70's to the threatening bleakness of the 80's. "Sepia, she's so beautiful when she talks of writing, you can almost feel the edge of freedom. As in a Cocteau film, ca 1940. A woman in a black skirt, black gloves, nipped in waist is walking out a door towards a black and white cafe. Orpheus waits. From that moment, you know anything can happen" (page 172). "Nothing I've read since satisfies my desire for density and beauty...Here memory is not 'the past', but imbues vitally the moment, as desire the future creates itself). As in Lorca's New York, desire is inscribed in the the city itself is tied with love" (Erin Moure).
