Tours et détours: Le mythe de Babel dans littérature contemporaine – Khordoc to participate in book signing session at the annual The Salon du livre de l’Outaouais book fair
The Salon du livre de l’Outaouais is an annual book fair, bringing together authors, publishers, illustrators and readers, under one roof. This year’s event takes place from Feb 28- March 3rd at the Palais des Congrès in Gatineau (Hull). Catherine Khordoc, an associate professor in Carleton’s Department of French, will be signing copies of her recent book, Tours et détours: Le mythe de Babel dans littérature contemporaine, between 5pm and 6:30, on Thursday, February 28th, at the “Prologue” booth. In this book, which studies contemporary francophone literature and culture, Khordoc examines the use of the Tower of Babel myth in novels written by Québécois, franco-Ontarian, Guadeloupean, and franco-Spanish writers, which address various issues such as language diversity, translation, identity, multiculturalism, nation, and hybridity.
