After the success of her first book "Agathe," Anne Cathrine Bomann is in Montreal as part of FIKA(S) to present her latest book released in 2023: "Blue Notes (En dehors de la gamme)" (La Peuplade Editions). "Blue Notes" is a novel about grief, love, and science. How far should we go in a world where new diagnoses and treatments are constantly emerging? How intense can the pain of grief become? To what extent can we go to avoid pain?
Discussion hosted by Marie-Andrée Lamontagne, writer, editor, journalist, and translator.
FIKA(S) thanks the Danish Arts Foundation and La Peuplade. With the support of the Embassy of Denmark in Ottawa.
