From Man Booker nominee Adam Foulds⁠⁠ comes a tragi-comic of desire and delusion, a yearning for fame and conflicting destinies in Dream Sequence. Christian Guay-Poliquin won the Governor General’s Award for French-language fiction with his novel about strangers forced to trust each other as society collapses, now in English translation as The Weight of Snow. Oakland Ross tells of an unlikely friendship between a Canadian teenager and a South African girl which sparks a journey to untangle an unsolved murder in Swimming with Horses.
