With the perspective of a walker moving through a fluid landscape of neighbourhoods and eras Sherry Simon experiences Montreal as a voyage across languages. She traces an evocative history of literary passages across familiar sites - the mythical boulevard Saint-Laurent Mile End Mont Royal - as she follows adventurous cultural translators such as Malcolm Reid A.M. Klein and Pierre Anctil and contemporary writer-translators such as Gail Scott Erin Moure Jacques Brault Nicole Brossard and Emile Ollivier.
