Book
La Sagouine / Antonine Maillet ; translated by Luis de Cespedes.
In La Sagouine, Maillet first gave written form to the language of Acadie, a language which, she says, has been "distorted by the climate and sharpened by the sea; by the salty air in the larynx and the obsessive beating of the waves in the cars." Her scrubwoman gave disenfranchised Acadians an authentic voice and established Maillet as a writer of international stature." "In this new translation, Wayne Grady brings out the cultural richness of La Sagouine's speech as well as the old scrubwoman's strength of character and irrepressible humour.
