Sauvages

Poets dying of desire, brush cutters who have seen the bear, a computer specialist caught between two fires: whether Cree or writers, the characters of these ten stories struggle with the complexity of a world that is only a pale reflection of the beauty kept in memory. Their desires are simple or complicated, they have love to spare and a talent for putting their foot in it. Naive or cunning, passionately unfit, they swing between a secret longing for a free life and the need for tenderness, moving from embryonic couples to family mirages, from Montreal to the wildest territories. Solitude is their common lot.
