Shortlisted for the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize Invited to a quiet Swiss chateau by the enigmatic Tatiana Beaujeu Lehmann, Anne begins to slowly write a novel in a language that is not hers, a language that makes meaning foreign and keeps her alert to the world and its fiery horizon. Will the strange intoxication that takes hold of her and her characters -- sculptor Charles; his sister Kim, about to leave for the far north; and Laure Ravin, a lawyer obsessed with the Patriot Act -- allow her to break through the darkness of the world? Fences in Breathing, first published and critically lauded in French as La capture du sombre, and now brought into English by the celebrated translator Susanne de Lotbiniere-Harwood, is a disquieting, dexterous and defiant missive, another triumph by one of North America's foremost practitioners of innovative writing.

A disquieting, dexterous and defiant missive, another triumph by one of North America's foremost practitioners of innovative writing.
'This exotic, disorienting and dazzling novel tells the story of words -- of their sound, their taste, their shape -- and asks grave and essential questions about time and language.' -- La Presse '[Brossard] writes with a poetic intensity that burns select lines and sometimes entire paragraphs into the reader's mind.' -- Montreal Gazette 'The atmosphere of reverie that mesmerizes the novel's characters and sends them careening into other selves also overcomes the reader ... Susanne de Lotbiniere-Harwood's translation is noteworthy, bold and pulsing with Brossardesque poetic energy ('suspiteful' -- yum). The English version is suggestive without being overt, and playful without seeming clever; it's the perfect translation of an elegant, complicated book.' -- Globe and Mail
