Description

On the shore of the St. Lawrence River, when she is not anchored to her worktable, listening to the village steeple which sounds the angelus at the wrong time, a writer paces the beach. She collects multicoloured pieces of glass that the tide has made soft as pebbles. There are brown ones and green, white ones and more rarely, blue, “Noxzema blue,” the most precious. Whenever she finds one her heart beats faster. Each is unique, a small miracle, the fruit of a long and patient work of the elements, of chance. She classifies them carefully.At the same time she collects characters, characters who gradually inhabit her white page. There's a couple who visit Bruges and realize that nothing will ever be the same again; a student who peels an orange instead of writing his dissertation on happiness; a woman who comes home to an empty apartment that her companion has just left forever. There is the little girl who turns herself into a filmmaker to shoot scenes with her dolls having sex, and there are children at summer camp shut up in their bedroom, waiting for their mother, on the night Marilyn Monroe died.In these stories Christiane Frenette demonstrates the ways in which life works on beings, making us witnesses at the elusive moment when their deepest truth shows through the surface.
