A seminal text in Canadian and feminist literature, \u003ci\u003eMauve Desert\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-read for readers and writers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is both a single novel and three separate novels in one. In the first, \u003ci\u003eMauve Desert\u003c\/i\u003e, fifteen-year-old M lanie drives across the Arizona desert in a white Meteor chasing fear and desire, cutting loose from her mother and her mother's lover, Lorna, in their roadside Mauve Motel. In the second book, Maudes Laures reads \u003ci\u003eMauve Desert\u003c\/i\u003e, becomes obsessed with it, and embarks on an extraordinary quest for its mysterious author, characters and meaning. The third book - \u003ci\u003eMauve, the horizon\u003c\/i\u003e - is Laures's eventual translation of Mauve Desert. Like all good translations, it is both the same and revealingly different from the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNicole Brossard's writing is agile and inventive; from moment to moment gripping, exhilarating and erotic. Her language drifts and swells like sand dunes in a desert, cresting and accumulating into a landscape that shifts like wind and words; she translates the practice of translation, the pulse of desire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 206\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.4 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 19, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45816178016453,"sku":"9781552451724","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/Ny8vNFN1WlplRURYdWlRWkh2TkduUT09_7d533f21-9fa1-451a-880f-4636e4f8dcac.webp?v=1771028138","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/mauve-desert-paperback-2","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
