ABOUT US
We are both native speakers of English
with fluency in French. The passion
we share for writing and translating has inspired us to successfully
collaborate on a number of major projects over the years. We have jointly and individually
authored books, articles, and book reviews in English and French on prominent
literary figures of the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries. Our
articles have appeared in the French Review, Romanic Review, Symposium,
André Malraux Review, Esprit créateur, Canadian Literature, Québec
Studies, American Review of Canadian
Studies, Romance Notes, and other
refereed journals. Our translations
of books dealing with significant contemporary social issues and our original
works can be found in the libraries of the world’s foremost universities,
including Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Georgetown, Oxford, McGill, Laval, and the
Sorbonne.
