    Nancy Huston - essays - novels - duplication - duplicity Canadienne, Parisienne, musicienne, écrivaine de rénommée internationale, Nancy Huston séduit aussi bien par ses essais provocateurs que par ses romans audacieux. Vivant entre deux langues et deux cultures, elle a conquis tant les publics francophone qu’anglophone. La narratrice d’Instruments des ténèbres formule cette phrase troublante : « Pas de vision sans division. Je ne cesse de comparer, combiner, séduire, traduire, trahir. J’ai le coeur et le cerveau fendus, comme les sabots du Malin. Anglais, français. » C’est avec cette citation comme point de départ que cet ouvrage propose une vision de son écriture centrée sur le dédoublement et la duplicité. Des auteurs en provenance de nombreux pays présentent un oeuvre où priment les thèmes de l’exil et de l’enfermement, de la musique et de la folie, de l’enfance et de la vieillesse, sous la plume d’une écrivaine qui, selon le Magazine littéraire, compte au nombre de ceux « qui ne cessent de détruire pour mieux pouvoir reconstruire ». Au tout début de ce livre, le lecteur découvrira un essai de Nancy Huston sur le film The Hours. Il s’agit en fait d’une réflexion fascinante sur la création, la vie et la mort : une vision qu’elle a dédoublée selon sa coutume en français et en anglais.

    Margaret Atwood called Ernest Buckler "one of the pathbreakers for the modern Canadian novel," yet he has slipped into relative obscurity. This new book by Marta Dvorák, Ernest Buckler: Rediscovery and Reassessment breaks new ground in Canadian literary studies by analyzing some of Buckler's works that have remained unknown or unexplored by critics, and by addressing the formalistic innovations of these texts. It allows a general readership to discover - and an international specialized readership to reassess - the wide, even eclectic scope of an author best known for his first novel, The Mountain and the Valley. Marta Dvorák situates Buckler firmly within his cultural and intellectual environment. She argues the importance of his connections with Emerson and the American transcendental milieu, and demonstrates his links with Romantics such as Schopenhauer and Shelley and modernists like Joyce, Faulkner, and Mansfield, as well as intellectuals from Aristotle to Aquinas. She explores his philosophical vision and his complex, adventurous relationship with language. Extracts from Buckler's published and unpublished material juxtaposed with those from a wide range of writers (from Henry James to Foucault) offer new illuminating perspectives. The progressive structure of the book will draw readers in to discussions on shared concerns: the nostalgia for a vanished past, the relationship between family and community, the rural and the urban, or the questioning of, and coming to terms with, ethics and the social fabric of today's rapidly changing technological horizon in which traditional values are eroding.

    A treasure chest of exceptional stories by one of Canadas classic authorsall now available in one volume. Ernest Buckler, best known as the author of the Canadian classic, The Mountain and the Valley, never achieved the lasting fame he deserved. His first story was published in Esquire, a significant American literary magazine known for publishing leading writers such as Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Sinclair Lewis. Over the years, nearly forty more of Buckler's short stories were published in several popular magazines, including Maclean's where his story "The Quarrel" won first prize for fiction. In Thanks for Listening: Stories and Short Fictions by Ernest Buckler, Marta Dvorák gathers together many of those stories as well as some previously unpublished pieces. At times she has chosen to include the fuller, original versions, and has reinstated some of the lost passages that were cut from stories to fit popular magazine requirements. Ernest Buckler's writing is rooted in the magic of the ordinary. He celebrates the land and its community, and sensuously recreates a paradise - almost a Garden of Eden. Buckler's American editors were right in believing that no one evoked the lost world of North Americas agrarian past better than Ernest Buckler.
