Fine. 237pp. One quater red cloth with printed paper over boards. Translated from the French by Susanne de Lotbiniere-Harwood. Carla Carlson is at the Hotel Clarendon in Quebec City trying to finish a novel. Nearby, a woman, preoccupied with grief, catalogues antiquities at the Museum of Civilization.
