“In Lait cru, two worlds come together in poetic fiction, exposing the harsh, everyday reality of life on a farm. Between madness and surrealism, the author reveals the fragility of a boy plagued by terrors as he takes inventory of his emotions. Delivered by a fringe voice that nimbly crosses the border between hallucination and rural reality, Steve Poutré’s novel presents readers with a unique perspective on life on the land with stunning language.”
