Overview

Winter blankets Montreal, while a bookseller and her lover dream of Prague. As the narrator's open marriage becomes the subject of a novel, reality blurs with fiction, and she tries to reconcile the need to create with the desire for love and sex. Written in stark, spare prose, Prague is an introspective and intimate account of the making of a novel from life.

"...a hyper-aware portrayal of the intimate relationship between sadness, submission, creation, and life in a body" —Bronwyn Averett, Montreal Review of Books
