The Blue Books - Brossard, Nicole

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Playful, innovative and subversive, The Blue Books collects Brossard's first three novels, written in the early 70s and in their original English translations, making available once again these groundbreaking works of Canadian feminism and postmodernism. Includes: A Book - A novel about a novel; five characters in search of a narrative, a narrative in search of an author;  Turn of a Pang -  Cherry composes herself in derivative images as the War Measures Act looms, echoing the Conscription Crisis of 30 years earlier; and French Kiss, or, A Pang's Progress - The authority of the printed word and of politics is mocked as Camomille, Lucy and Elle revel in Montreal, ludic language and female desire.
