With all its honesty, Journal is a moving account of a brief yet remarkable life. -- Literary Review of Canada
Gripping and beautifully written. A work of art imbued with desire, loneliness, sadness, suffering but, above all, an ode to life. -- Lettres québécoises
Written shortly before her death from bone cancer at the age of twenty-six, Marie Uguay's Journal weaves together prose and poetry to chronicle her philosophical questioning and her erotic longing for an impossible love. Despite the surgical changes imposed on her body and her mounting loneliness, Uguay's work evokes a lust for life and a passionate pursuit of artistic ambition. Journal, edited by Stéphan Kovacs and translated by Jennifer Moxley, demonstrates both the maturity of Uguay's voice and the raw emotions in her writing process, cementing her place in the Québecois literary scene.
