"Consuming Love" 1990
From: The Quebec Anthology
$0.24
"Un amour devorant," translated here as "Consuming Love" by Matt Cohen, first appeared in the Montreal literary magazine XYZ in 1990. It is a sly tale with a delicious twist at the end, typical of what Dé refers to as her "dry and restrained sense of humour," but it also contains undercurrents that propel it into the realm of the serious.
