Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The not-often seen together combination of poetic writing interspersed with historical events and modern-day occurrences with a view to the future marks Francis Catalano's work as noteworthy. Quebec's past is vividly imagined, and The Origin of the Future reveals the author's background as a poet as he creates a kind of road trip partway between an essay and a novel. The narrator looks for what has come before him, what has shaped him. There is authenticity in this eclectic mixture of the present day and history, and courage in forging new territory to create an unusually original work.The central figure of The Origin of the Future is North America. It talks about the origins of the continent: geological (before human beings), human origins (migration of people from Asia), colonial origins (the arrival of Europeans) and the origin of the author's own presence in North America. Catalano lends his voice to his ancestors, to his Italian grandfather, to his son . who speak through him to tell their little story in America while History is told using a more enigmatic or poetic text, between each chapter. Then come the great outdoors of America, migrations, road trips, family. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Not Even the Sound of a River is a moving tale of love's phantom pains as shared through the relationships between three generations of mothers and daughters.Hanna drives down the St. Lawrence River to her late mother's hometown, hoping to find out more about the distant woman who began to reveal herself only through notebooks discovered in her effects. As the river widens, so does Hanna's understanding of the matriarchs in her family. She learns that her mother's one true love, Antoine, died on the St. Lawrence when she was twenty, and that her grandmother also lost a young love to the same water. Both women remained shipwrecked after these tragedies, their tales mirroring other survivors'-such as the few who did not perish in the Empress of Ireland sinking when more than a thousand people lost their lives on the river in 1914.Told through multiple perspectives, newspaper accounts, and historical documents, Dorion's narrative exquisitely describes the depths of love, the reality of living when dreams have failed us, and the complex nuance of blood ties. Not Even the Sound of a River is a tender and profound story that defies time or place. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
