Columnist, scriptwriter, and best-selling writer Matthieu Simard has been called “one of the most promising authors of his generation” (La Presse), and his work has been short-listed for both the Archambault Literary Grand Prix and the Governor General’s Literary Award. His novel Ici ailleurs was shortlisted for the Prix France-Québec. Just published in a translation by Pablo Strauss as The Country Will Bring Us No Peace (Coach House Books), it tells the story of a couple who flee the city for life in an idyllic village, but their new home is a place where no birds sing, and where people have started to disappear. Simard lives in Montreal.
