my original reaction to the news was just a one word swear. Marie-Claire Blais was incredible.

[quillandquire @quillandquire]

Novelist Marie-Claire Blais died on Nov. 30 in Key West Florida. She was 82. Earlier this year, she spoke to Steven W. Beattie (@stevenwbeattie) about her 10-novel cycle, the ninth of which was published in translation in July. https://t.co/dr57870P2j
