I used to think this was a book about a disguise,
but now I know that it's a book about translation.

According to Cormier family lore, Pierrot Cormier escaped a British prison the night before the Acadian Deportation by disguising himself in a dress. In the invigorating, transliterative Entre Rive and Shore, Dominique Bernier-Cormier uses his ancestor's escape to ponder what it means to live between two languages. Writing in a blend of English and French that evokes Chiac, a living thing, growing gills, a voice from the future, prophetic and clear, Bernier-Cormier probes the mutability of language and of translation.
