Montreal, Algiers, Jerusalem, Mexico: fiction sketches a geography of emotions that plays with borders, history and memory. How does it sort them out? In her most recent novel, American author Claire Messud delves deeply into the history of her pieds-noirs family (This Strange Eventful History). In her acclaimed first collection of short stories (Here is Still There), Canadian Sivan Slapak creates the character of Isabel, who goes in search of herself between Jerusalem and Montreal. How far can fiction go in reinventing reality? In Last Date in El Zapotal, Mexican Mateo García Elizondo has given us an homage to Pedro Paramo, a descent for the ages, a long good-bye with no clear line between the living and the dead.
