Autorenporträt

Born in 1963 in Montérégie, Quebec, polymath Patrice Martin is a writer, musician, and politician - he currently serves as a Gatineau city council member and is a former clerk in Canada's House of Commons. He concedes his working life in government bureaucracy helped shaped his first novel, the deliciously absurd Kafka's Hat. In 1994 he co-authored, with Patrick Savidan, La culture de la dette [The Culture of Debt]. Martin holds a degree in political science from the University of Ottawa. Chantal Bilodeau is a New York-based playwright and translator originally from Montreal. Her play Sila recently won First Prize in the 2012 Earth Matters on Stage Ecodrama Festival and the 2011 Uprising National Playwriting Competition. She is the recipient of a Jerome Travel & Study Grant and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. Notable among her English translations are Bintou by Koffi Kwahulé and Abraham Lincoln Goes to the Theatre by Larry Tremblay.
