Winner, Governor General's Award for FictionShortlisted, IMPAC
Dublin Literary Award and Commonwealth Writers' PrizeA 16th-century
belle turned Robinson Crusoe, a female Don Quixote with an Inuit
Sancho Panza -- this is the heroine of the novel that won the 2003
Governor General's Award. Elle is a lusty, subversive riff on the
discovery of the New World, the moment of first contact. Based on
what might be a true story, the novel chronicles the ordeals and
adventures of a young French woman marooned on the desolate Isle of
Demons during Jacques Cartier's ill-fated third and last attempt to
colonize Canada. In this new readers' guide edition, Douglas
Glover's carnal whirlwind of myth and story, of beauty and hilarity
brings the past violently and unexpectedly into the present. His
well-known scatological realism, exuberant violence, and dark,
unsettling humour give his unique version of history a thoroughly
modern chill.
