In conversation with Erik Rutherford, Nancy Huston presents Black Dance—a swirling novel packed with humour and pathos, from an exceptional and rare literary voice.

The author of over 20 books, more than half written in French, Nancy Huston crosses oceans and languages as a Calgary-born novelist and essayist who studied under Roland Barthes and launched her career in France. She published her first novel, The Goldberg Variations, in 1981.

In 1993, Plainsong won the Governer General’s award for best French-language novel in Canada, although first written in English and translated by the author. She won awards for Slow Emergencies and Sweet Agony in her adopted country.

Narrated by Milos, a dying screenwriter whose imagination is in full flight as his partner coaxes out his life story, Black Dance pulls together voices from Milos’ past and present into a masterful story that becomes the couple’s final screenplay.

Sponsored by Penguin Canada.
