PURITYJapanese short storiesTranslated from French by Lisa Hannaford-WongOriginally published under the title "La Pureté" by éditions du Septentrion/Hamac in Quebec City, Canada."In all of his sixty-six years, Ajima-sensei had never experienced such weather in Kyushu. Residents of the Kagoshima prefecture had been caught unaware, much like a tea master who, when startled, drops his favourite cup. Just as classes were letting out, a menacing wind had begun to gust, tearing open the dark skies and pelting the school children s faces with rain as they fled home. Some had taken shelter at the homes of friends, many others, among strangers." An old gentleman finds love in a shop window. A shark s tooth rekindles a childhood memory. A man is driven to the point of obsession by a mysterious black seed. The ten stories inside PURITY spring from a poetry of the everyday, of strangeness, transparency and sudden epiphanies. From the unsaid there comes a strength, a serene confidence. Vincent Thibault, a talented and prolific writer from Quebec, Canada, follows his own unique path. With this translation by Lisa Hannaford-Wong, English readers can now enjoy his short stories. Purity is certain to delight readers of Haruki Murakami and Yoko Ogawa. www. vincentthibault. comwww. goodreads.com/vincentthibaultwww. facebook.com/vincentthibaultdotcom WHAT CRITICS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE AUTHOR AND HIS BOOKS"Absolutely charming.
