Translator’s Acknowledgements - Asbestos

My thanks to this book’s editor, Alana Wilcox, for making it better in so many ways, and to the entire Coach House team for your tireless work to bring books into readers’ hands.

I am deeply indebted to Bronwyn Haslam for her thorough and illuminating edit on the first draft of the translation.

Thanks to the author for his enthusiastic help and understanding.

And special thanks to my friend and Thetford Mines native Étienne Binette – no relation to the character of the same last name – who showed me around so many of the locations described in Asbestos.
