Book
Arvida / Samuel Archibald ; translated by Donald Winkler.
With its stories of innocent young girls and wild beasts, attempted murder and ritual mutilation, haunted houses and road trips to nowhere, Samuel Archibald's Arvida, the portrait of a remote mining town in French Canada, reads like a Proust-obsessed Cormac McCarthy.
