No Grave for This Place

Judy Quinn, translated by Donald Winkler
No Grave for This Place

A rogue moose wanders into a suburb near Quebec city, tramples lawns and gardens, stumbles in and out of a swimming pool, is tracked by three gun toting heads of family who shoot it down just as a school bus goes by wherein a little girl is trilling “Three Little Kittens.” Thus begins No Grave For This Place, Judy Quinn’s bleak, ironic, and at times darkly comic tribute to Auberivière, the neighbourhood where she grew up. Quinn’s voice will resonate with all those
who have, by association or from experience, tasted the cultural barrenness that can underlie civilized life.
