Mad Shadows by Marie-Claire Blais
A harrowing pathology of the soul, Mad Shadows centres on a family group: Patrice, the beautiful and narcissistic son; his ugly and malicious sister, Isabelle-Marie; and Louise, their vain and uncomprehending mother. These characters inhabit an amoral universe where beauty reflects no truth and love is an empty delusion. Each character is ultimately annihilated by their own obsessions.Acclaimed and reviled when it exploded on the Quebec literary scene in 1959, Mad Shadows initiated a new era in Quebec fiction.
In 1939, Marie-Claire Blais was born in Québec City. Crazy Shadows (1959), Blais' first novel, was a literary revolution in Quebec. With its horrific representation of society's obsessions and ills, the novel ushered forth a new era in Quebec fiction. Her works have been translated into 13 languages and have received international praise.
