What noise? What will happen when it gets into our heads? In Thoughts of sounds, a hilarious history marked by…
pathos, James Lawless sends his typical humorous way some of the effects of noise on contemporary society. This news is followed by noise, a decidedly dark poem that explores the devastation that uncontrolled cacophony can inflict on sentient beings.

In this series of short stories, Yolande Bastarache at once describes the feeling of her childhood in her family and…
native village, and the distress of her life as a mother, helpless in the face of the illness that took her two children away from her. Comprising 16 short stories, this collection takes us through various periods of Yolande Bastarache's life, from childhood to adulthood. Written in a poetic language, Détresse et nostalgie plunges us into a universe that is both gentle and tempestuous, where the hazards of everyday life meet the horizon of the elusive. These stories invite us to meet a woman with an inquisitive gaze, left standing in the face of the inconceivable.
