Nelly Arcan
Lorsque, le 24 septembre 2009, Nelly Arcan met fin à ses jours, la nouvelle est un choc. La star du monde littéraire n'avait que trente-six ans. Deux mois plus tard, à la parution de son dernier livre, on comprend que cette ode au suicide était prémonitoire. Nelly vivait-elle avec un secret? Nelly Arcan a d'abord été connue comme l'auteure sulfureuse de Putain et Folle. Célèbre au-delà de nos frontières, elle avait un avenir prometteur. Mais derrière la jolie blonde pulpeuse et provocante se cachait une femme blessée. Ce portrait biographique non autorisé par la famille de Nelly Arcan aborde certaines énigmes de la vie de cet écrivain qui avait tout pour réussir.

Talentueuse, Nelly Arcan, à coups de provocation et de succès, menée par son ambition et surtout par son furieux désir de se construire une autre vie, ira tout droit vers sa fin tragique.

Susanna Moodie
Susanna Moodie was already a published author when she emigrated from England to Upper Canada with her husband and baby in 1832. The Moodies were seeking financial security and a better life in the colony, but they found themselves struggling to make a living on a bush farm. Despite her primitive life in the backwoods and the demands of caring for her children, Susanna continued to write and publish. In 1852 her best-known book, Roughing It in the Bush, was published in England. A Canadian edition appeared in 1871. Roughing It in the Bush has endured both as a valuable social document of the Canadian pioneer experience and as a work of literature.
