A modern-day fable and mythic bildungsroman, The Faerie Devouring tells the story of a young girl raised by her grandmother (a stalwart matriarch and wicked fairy godmother) following her mother?s death during childbirth. The absent mother haunts the story of this girl whose greatest misfortune is to have been born female.
In this critically-acclaimed coming-of-age story by Quebecois author Catherine Lalonde, and translated by Oana Avasilichioaei, questions of what it means to be born female and grow into a woman are explored. The story is rife with song, myth, phantasmagoria, spells, desire, ferocious poetic telling, wild imagination, and unruly language. Lalonde uses the form of a disenchanted and metaphorical fable to recount what it means to find a life force in one's lineage, even when one is born into "nothing."

Born in 1974, Catherine Lalonde published her first collection of poetry at the tender age of sixteen. She studied dance that she not only teaches but has also featured as a choreographer. For a number of years, she has worked as a cultural journalist and critic for the Le Devoir daily newspaper in Montreal. Oana Avasilichioaei is a poet, translator, and sound artist based in Montreal. She has translated many books of poetry and prose from French and Romanian, including Bertrand Laverdure's Readopolis (Book*hug 2017, Governor General Literary Award) and Catherine Lalonde's The Faerie Devouring (Book*hug 2018, QWF's Cole Foundation Prize for Translation).
