Marie-Sissy Labreche is one of the brightest “supernovas” of modern Canadian literature. “The Border Zone,” the writer’s first novel, was published in 2000 and became a real shock. This is the story of a young woman who overcomes the complexes and traumas of an unhappy childhood and seeks oblivion in alcohol and sex. The novel is written in the form of a monologue - passionate, sincere, without a single false note.
