With the perspective of a walker moving through a fluid landscape of neighbourhoods and eras, Sherry Simon experiences Montreal as a voyage across languages. She traces an evocative history of literary passages across familiar sites - the mythical boulevard Saint-Laurent, Mile End, Mont Royal - as she follows adventurous cultural translators such as Malcolm Reid, A. M. Klein, and Pierre Anctil and contemporary writer-translators such as Gail Scott, Erin Moure, Jacques Brault, Nicole Brossard, and Emile Ollivier. Simon argues that translation is a dynamic and subtle tool for analysing cultural contact. An original view of cultural relations in the city, Translating Montreal explores the emergence of the "new" Montrealer. No longer "Franco-Québécois," "Anglo-Québécois," "immigrant," or "ethnic," the new Montrealer is a citizen of a mixed and cosmopolitan city. | Translating Montreal by Sherry Simon, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
