Ms Brossard will read from the dual-language text and talk about her
writing. She is the author of more than 20 works of fiction and poetry and
has influenced a whole generation by her thinking on post-modernist,
experimental, feminist and lesbian writing. She has directed films and
co-founded two important literary periodicals, La Barre du Jour and La
Nouvelle Barre du Jour. Her novel Mauve Desert has been translated into
English, Spanish, German and Dutch.
This rare appearance by Nicole Brossard in the UK forms part of her tour in
which she is scheduled to appear at the Canadian High Commission and at
Quebec House in London, and to be a plenary speaker at the Leeds University
Conference on Women and Texts: Languages, Technologies and Communities. Her
readings in Cambridge will offer those interested and involved with issues
of experimental writing, women's creativity, texts and languages an
opportunity to engage with Ms Brossard in an atmosphere of informal
discussion.
We look forward to welcoming you to these events.
