The Collected Radio Drama of Marie-Claire Blais
plays by Marie-Claire Blais
translated, and with an introduction, by Nigel Spencer

Best known for her novels, Mad Shadows, A Season in the Life of Emmanuel,These Festive Nights, and Thunder and Light, among many, many more, Marie-Claire Blais has also been very productive as a dramatist, writing many plays for the radio and the stage. Mostly written for the French-language Radio Canada in the late 1970s and early 1980s, these plays show another side of Marie-Claire Blais' talent; they explore, in multiple voices, themes that also appear in her fiction and poetry: a shattered emotional, intellectual, and psychological landscape, although not devoid of hope.

Plays included in this volume are Vanished, Invader,Two Fates, Murmurs, Garden in the Storm, A Couple,The Exile, and Fever.
