Quebec soldier Corriveau died fighting the Germans. Now seven Anglais soldiers bring him home. This novella-length story describes tension between the villagers and soldiers. Neither group speaks the other's language. Much of the story reminded me of the Magical Realism style. Apparently the story is full of symbolism and social commentary. I'm afraid I've been out of school too long to get most of it. The translator's note explains French-style cursing, which is left in French, not translated.
