Ristigouche: le long cours de la rivière sauvage

By Philip Lee. 2024

Entre le Québec et le Nouveau-Brunswick s'étend une rivière majestueuse aux eaux d'une rare transparence, aux imposantes berges boisées, où…

foisonne une population de saumon qui en a fait un lieu prisé des animaux et des hommes depuis des temps immémoriaux : la Ristigouche. Naviguant ses flots depuis l'enfance, l'écrivain et journaliste Philip Lee remonte dans son canot pour nous entraîner sur les anciennes routes de portage jusqu'au cours principal, qu'il descend vers l'estuaire de la baie des Chaleurs. Dans une prose aussi souple que les sinuosités de la rivière, il nous en raconte l'histoire, en explore les innombrables strates - géologiques, environnementales, humaines, industrielles - et nous invite à découvrir cet écosystème parmi les plus riches de notre planète pour mieux le protéger. Ristigouche, c'est faire du canot en compagnie du meilleur guide imaginable. En plus d'être un grand conteur, Philip est un fabuleux chercheur. Vous croiserez bien sûr des gens riches et célèbres - les Irving du Nouveau-Brunswick, Teddy Roosevelt, les Vanderbilt, le marquis de Lorne et son épouse, la princesse Louise, fille de la reine Victoria -, mais vous rencontrerez aussi des gens ordinaires qui vivent le long de la rivière et vous vous en éprendrez : bûcherons, pêcheurs, francophones, anglophones, Mi'gmaq. C'est un cours d'eau qui a connu bien des tumultes, depuis l'ignoble expulsion des Acadiens il y a près de trois siècles jusqu'à ce jour de 1981 où des agents de la Sûreté du Québec et des gardes-pêche québécois ont battu et arrêté des membres de la Première Nation de Listuguj pour avoir pêché le saumon au filet. Le saumon, bien sûr, est au cœur de ce superbe livre, tout comme il est l'attraction principale des eaux cristallines de la Ristigouche. Infatigable défenseur de l'espèce, Philip décrit les ravages de la surpêche, de l'exploitation forestière, de la pollution et du changement climatique. Ce livre est son plaidoyer pour la conservation, la protection et la restauration de ce magnifique cours d'eau. Mais c'est aussi, par bonheur, un livre rempli d'amour pour la rivière et d'espoir pour son avenir. Roy MacGregor, auteur et chroniqueur

Marie est autrice. Son dernier roman a soulevé l'ire de ses modèles féministes et l'a laissée vidée, incapable d'écrire. Après…

plusieurs fausses couches, suivant des conseils obtenus par télémédecine, elle conserve ses fœtus au congélateur afin de les soumettre à des tests, pendant que Perceval, son chum, coécrit des poèmes avec l'algorithme qu'il a créé et que son amie Claire, ancienne comédienne, gravit les échelons de la vente de Tupperware. Par une sinistre nuit de novembre, alors que la pluie fouette les vitres et que retentissent les cris stridents d'une imprimante 3D, Marie accouche d'une idée funeste qui va tout faire basculer. S'inspirant librement de la vie de Mary Shelley et de son Frankenstein, Sarah Berthiaume sonde les abysses de la création et de la procréation dans une comédie gothique, féministe et dystopique qui dissèque nos propres monstruosités

Production note: This title was created through eBOUND's Literary Image Description project. The author and illustrator wrote or consulted on…

the image descriptions, which are included in the body and narration of the text. Katie heads out west to take advantage of Alberta's oil rush-part of the long tradition of East Coasters who seek gainful employment elsewhere when they can't find it in the homeland they love so much. Katie encounters the harsh reality of life in the oil sands, where trauma is an everyday occurrence yet is never discussed. Beaton's natural cartooning prowess is on full display as she draws colossal machinery and mammoth vehicles set against a sublime Albertan backdrop of wildlife, northern lights, and boreal forest. Her first full length graphic narrative, Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands is an untold story of Canada: a country that prides itself on its egalitarian ethos and natural beauty while simultaneously exploiting both the riches of its land and the humanity of its people
