"Pomme Douly and the Instant of Eternity" 1988
From: The Quebec Anthology
$0.48
Jacob’s most recent book, Les Aventures de Pomme Douly (1988), is a collection of linked short stories depicting the somewhat chaotic life of a beautiful, intelligent, but directionless woman living in Montreal. The story reprinted here, "Pomme Douly et l’instant d’éternité," translated by Wayne Grady as "Pomme Douly and the Instant of Eternity," picks up her life between adventures, as it were—while she is making ends meet by working as a grocery-store check-out clerk.

She taught French as a second language from 1967 to 1972; during this period, she began writing songs and stories, some of which appeared in the journals Liberté, Possibles, and La Nouvelle Barre du jour. In 1970 she was named best author-composer-performer at the Patriote de Montréal, and since then she has followed the dual careers of chansonniere and writer. She divides her time between Paris and Montreal.
