Winner of the Prix Qu�bec-Paris, the Qu�bec Bookstores' Prize and the Prix Litt�raire Desjardins, Invisible Man at the Window is the bizarre and compelling tale of a group of artists and hangers-on whose lives cross in the attic apartment of a painter called Max. Through a series of chapters in the form of "portraits," Max, a paraplegic, lays bare the psyches of those who would surround him, pamper him, love him either because or in spite of his handicap.

Aurora Montrealis

Stories

By: Monique Proulx

A unique and powerful portrait of referendum and post-referendum Montreal. Published in Quebec in 1996, Aurora Montrealis shot to the top of the best-seller lists and confirmed Monique Proulx's position as one of the top Quebec fiction writers of her generation. In all of these stories -- about disintegrating relationships, yearning housewives, survivors of political and literary wars, people at the very centre of the Quebec dream and those excluded by it -- the true hero is the city of Montreal itself, a rapidly changing, indefinable city, which not only provides the backdrop of its inhabitant's lives, but is the essential force with which they must deal.

Wildlives

By: Monique Proulx

Deep in the wilderness of the Laurentian mountain range lives a community of troubled souls. There's Lila, the landlady of the forest who shoulders a terrible guilt; the young, beautiful and carefree Violette, who bears deep childhood scars; and the boy Jeremie, who whispers his confessions to frogs and ants in the forest. There's Claire who writes murder scenes, and Simon, who cares for his brother's son while pining for various women. Each character has come to this forgiving Eden to escape some private trauma; forced to interact through loneliness and proximity, they learn each other's secrets, with stunning consequences. At once tender and uplifting, Wildlives is a beautiful novel about the nature of beauty and its infinite power to heal.

Sex of the Stars

By: Monique Proulx

Camille Deslauriers is an eleven-year-old girl whose coming of age is complicated by a very particular problem: not only are her parents separated, but her father has, through a series of operations, become a woman. Also an award-winning film, Sex of the Stars is very contemporary, very urban fiction, in which loneliness, sexual identity and the need and desire for love and acceptance are explored with wit, elegance and intense humanity.

The Heart is an Involuntary Muscle

By: Monique Proulx

Monique Proulx's last novel, Invisible Man at the Window, was first published in English in 1994. Following that is this brilliant, complex, witty, moving book about writing and writers. It was nominated for a 2002 Governor General's award when it was first published in French. Florence doesn't like writers -- they're so full of hang-ups -- and she likes their books even less, those corpulent things that aren't even true. She only likes Zeno, but she'll never admit it, even under pain of death. Zeno is her partner in their small website construction business, Mahone Inc., which has the brilliant idea of putting lesser-known artists and writers back in the limelight. Zeno, on the other hand, loves writers, especially Pierre Lalibert�, the mysterious and mythic novelist who lives like a recluse while awards and trophies tarnish and gather dust waiting for him. Because of Zeno, because of a stolen sentence, Florence finds herself following a trail that could lead her to Pierre Lalibert�, this impostor who pillages other people's lives as inspiration for his novels. Proulx plays with the mystery genre, to write about literature and those who create it. But above all this is a book whose engaging characters pull us into their lives.

Tour Eiffel

Roman

By: Monique Wahlen

Une histoire d’amour qui n’en est pas une, une sombre intrigue familiale, des personnages qui mentent en quête du meilleur des mondes, la Tour Eiffel et ses boulons, une langue aussi explosive que les engins manipulés par les protagonistes, ce roman a tout pour surprendre, et pour séduire. Monique Wahlen est née à Paris en 1964, de parents originaires d’Oran. Elle a pour métier la publicité, pour passion le sport (de haut niveau), et pour le reste l’écriture. Tour Eiffel est son premier roman. Le second est déjà prêt, le troisième sur le feu...
