Ristigouche : Le long cours de la rivière sauvage
Translated by Éric Fontaine
Éditions du Boréal (in French only)
“Progressing along the meanderings of a majestic river in Eastern Canada, Éric Fontaine submerses himself in Philip Lee’s account, conveying the environmental, social and political aspects of a canoe trip that upsets the colonial and extractive rapport our country has with its land. Éric Fontaine translates Restigouche’s technical vocabulary and lyrical musings with accuracy and simplicity, as he does the multilingualism of the rich archival material collated for the book.”
