Un prétendu éditeur découvre un mystérieux coffre rempli de manuscrits. C’est là le prétexte pour retracer les pas de personnages associés à la famille Ashfaq, issue de la bourgeoisie musulmane d’une ville indienne dévastée par les émeutes religieuses des années 1990. Au fil des nouvelles de ce recueil, le lecteur voyage en Inde, en Birmanie, en Angleterre, en République tchèque, au Groenland, aux États-Unis et au Canada, de la Seconde Guerre mondiale à aujourd’hui. Il y découvre une gamme de personnages et de sociétés aux prises avec la violence et l’oppression. Pour en accentuer l’artifice littéraire, la plupart des nouvelles sont racontées par un narrateur ou une narratrice dans un style distinct qui explore les mille et une façons connues d’aborder les thèmes choisis. En empruntant la voix des opprimés, les narrateurs mettent à mal leur propre récit. Et en mettant en doute la lecture qu’en fait l’« éditeur », sa femme lève le voile sur l’embarras et les inclinations de son mari. Aussi persuasive soit cette logique de narration, le cadre qui régit l’ensemble joue sur la vraisemblance des histoires racontées. Ce premier recueil de nouvelles signé Saidullah repousse les limites de la langue littéraire grâce à la parfaite maîtrise qu’en a son auteur, qui manie avec brio une multitude d’affects, d’émotions, de styles et de genres narratifs. Le Bonheur et autres troubles, œuvre hautement originale et remarquablement élaborée en un lacis de récits entrecroisés, saura plaire à tous ceux et celles qu apprécient la nouvelle et la fiction.

Bonté III was five years old. A cow at that age is at her prime. Prime is an accounting term. A dairy farm is a business and must be managed as such. From this perspective, Bonté III’s days were numbered. Numbered is not an empty word. She had been a good representative of her breed. A cow, after all, has no need to try to be a cow. Her life is that of a cow: a predetermined cycle that is easily reflected on a balance sheet. She eats. She drinks. She ruminates. She urinates. She defecates. All this has a cost. She ovulates. She bears a calf. She gives birth. She produces milk. All this brings money. [...] Tit for tat. The only thing left to do for Bonté III was to call the butcher. The Fate of Bonté III is a story of love and loneliness with colourful characters, a reflection on life and the vital need to be useful to someone or to something.

In these Nordic woods where the ancestors called blowing snow the sweet breath of death, an artist fashions bewitching jewels out of feathers, a man of fifty-four corresponds with the author of a bottled message thrown out to sea, another awaits the onslaught of the storm to open wide his mouth and drink it whole. Nature flares its gills, in this book, where forgiveness is both sought after and offered. A Blanket Against Darkness bursts with stories that spring from the earth. Its relic-filled landscapes, where one single movement can set off the migration of an entire colony, are constant reminders that one is never completely alone. Published by Marchand de feuilles in 2015, Traité des peaux was shortlisted for the Governor General’s Literary Awards and for the Prix des Cinq continents de la Francophonie. This book is published in English, translated from the original "Traité des peaux". - En ces forêts nordiques où les ancêtres appellent la poudrerie le souffle de la mort, une joaillière fabrique des bijoux avec des plumes d’oiseaux, un homme de 54 ans correspond avec celui qui a envoyé un message dans une bouteille jetée à la mer, un autre attend que l’orage éclate pour ouvrir la bouche et le boire en entier. La nature ouvre ses branchies, dans ce livre, où l’on demande et propose le pardon. A Blanket Against Darkness est rempli de talismans qui viennent de la terre. Ses paysages nous montrent que nous sommes un peuple nordique et que nous ne sommes pas seuls au monde. Nous habitons des lieux peuplés de reliques, où un seul mouvement brusque peut faire migrer toute une colonie. Paru chez Marchand de feuilles en 2015, Traité des peaux a été finaliste aux Prix littéraires du Gouverneur général, de même qu’au Prix des Cinq continents de la Francophonie. Ce livre est publié en anglais, une traduction du titre original "Traité des peaux".

Cloudburst is a milestone in Canadian literature. For over a half-century, beginning with the Spanish Civil War and continuing through the coups d’état and military repression in South and Central America in the 1970s and 80s, Spanish-speaking writers have been arriving in Canada as exiles and immigrants and have been creating new works in their native language. Cloudburst is the first anthology of short stories by Hispanic Canadian writers from across Latin America and Spain to appear in English. Edited by Luis Molina Lora and Julio Torres-Recinos and first published in Spanish as Retrato de una nube: primera antología del cuento hispano canadiense in 2008, Cloudburst is a prodigious collective work, containing forty-two stories by twenty-two authors from nine different countries—Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, and Spain—and rendered into English by seven translators. The stories in Cloudburst reflect the enormous variety of Hispanic writing in Canada today. Each of the authors’ native countries has its own artistic and literary tradition, yet all are bound together by the Spanish linguistic and cultural sphere. Moreover, the women and men in the anthology have settled in cities and towns across Canada, some of them entering into contact with the English-speaking literary world, others with the French. A number of them began writing before they left their homelands, while many of the younger contributors started their careers in Canada. Some of them prefer a traditional literary style, others a more surrealist, experimental, or colloquial approach. All of them are passionate about their writing, and all have gone through the common experience of leaving or being uprooted from the land of their birth and settling in Canada, where they face the challenges and difficulties involved in reestablishing their lives in a largely unknown environment. In Cloudburst, through the prism of translation, they share their latest fiction with English-speaking readers. - This book is published in English.

Death may seem a grim subject matter but, in the capable hands of Suzanne Myre, nothing is beyond humour. Though at times sincere, sorrowful, and even a tad gruesome, Death Sentences is also wry, mordant, and amusingly ironic. Death Sentences features 13 unique short stories, thematically united by death, sex, and existential angst. Solitary and dejected characters explore Montreal’s parks and alleys, seeking comfort and contending with their own everyday tragedies. A woman contemplates the deadly consequences of an almond croissant; another escapes her worries in a monastery. Precocious children’s fates are intertwined with a Rottweiler’s. Young girls fall in love with the most unlikely partners and a woman seeks salvation in a most unconventional way. The tales in Death Sentences intrigue, surprise, and entertain, from one page to the next.
