LA VIE AU-DEHORS

Twenty-eight short, raw stories: captivating moments that capture the precariousness of life and the intense moral conflicts that play out in seemingly insignificant moments. With the turn of a phrase, Geneviève Boudreau knows how to deftly condense the long-ago movements of a weaver's hand or the fate of a village being gradually abandoned. We are left with melancholy, strange and heartbreaking visions of a familiar yet cruel countryside. This is the America of shame drowned in booze, secret tenderness and furtive hopes.

Geneviève Boudreau a publié quatre recueils de poèmes remarqués, dont Comme on tue son chien (2017) et Si crue que tu pourrais y mordre (2019). La Vie au-dehors est son premier livre de fiction.
