A badly injured man. A nationwide power failure. A village buried in snow. A desperate struggle for survival. These are the ingredients of The Weight of Snow, Christian Guay-Poliquin’s riveting new novel. After surviving a major accident, the book’s protagonist is entrusted to Matthias, a taciturn old man who agrees to heal his wounds in exchange for supplies and a chance of escape. The two men become prisoners of the elements & of their own rough confrontation as the centimetres of snow accumulate relentlessly.Surrounded by a nature both hostile & sublime, their relationship oscillates between commiseration, mistrust, & mutual aid. Will they manage to hold out against external threats & intimate pitfalls?
Christian Guay-Poliquin was born back when the environmental stakes were limited to a hole in the ozone & acid rain. Though his books refer to the codes of post-apocalyptic fiction, their ambition is not to tell another end-of-the-world story. Instead, they bring us face to face with the strengths & fragile quality of human relations. His trilogy of novels Running on Fumes (2013), The Weight of Snow (2016, winner of the Governor General’s Award Literary Award for French-Language Fiction), & Falling Shadows have been published in several languages around the world.
Award-winning author & literary translator David Homel also works as a journalist, editor & screenwriter. He was born in Chicago in 1952 but left at the end of the tumultuous 1960s & continued his education in Europe & Toronto before settling in Montreal 1980. He worked at a variety of industrial jobs before beginning to write fiction in the mid-1980s. His 11 novels to date have been translated into several languages.
