L’été à Ganiishomong, une narratrice rédige l’histoire d’un narrateur qui raconte celle d’une narratrice. L’écriture poursuit la fiction dans l’extase du temps. Les souvenirs d’enfance (la nudité des cousines est désirable ; le piano de la mère un délice) se prélassent sur la plage d’une communauté métisse près de Saint-Laurent, dans le Far-West canadien, avec la musique de Bach et de Mozart, les poètes taoïstes et les penseurs pré-socratiques. Il y a place pour la Bible et Rimbaud. Baudelaire a trouvé le lieu. Geneviève Asse et Agnes Martin se font une habitude.
