immigration in contemporary Canadian literature, and the ethical boundaries of asylum--among many other topics. The two editors are affiliated as follows: Klaus-Dieter Ertler (romance languages
and literatures, U. of Graz, Austria) and Patrick Imbert (U. of Ottawa, Canada). Several contributions are in French, one is in Spanish, and the rest are in English. The book’s title in French
