Carla Carlson is at the Hotel Clarendon in Quebec City trying to
finish a novel. Nearby, a woman, preoccupied with sadness and
infatuated with her boss, catalogues antiquities at the Museum of
Civilization. Every night, the two women meet at the hotel bar and
talk - about childhood and parents and landscapes, about time and
art, about Descartes and Francis Bacon and writing.
When "Yesterday, at the Hotel Clarendon" appeared in French (as
"Hier"), the media called it the pinnacle of Brossard's remarkable
forty-year literary career. From its intersection of four women
emerges a kind of art installation, a lively read in which life and
death and the vertigo of ruins tangle themselves together to say
something about history and desire and art.
