Days of Sand

Days of Sand is an autobiographical work which transcends mere biography to become a work of sensory fiction. In vivid, poetic language, Dorion has created an intimate work of contemplation and meditation. Set on the shores of the St. Lawrence and the beaches of Maine, the novel mixes memory and desire, the past with the present. The ideas and themes explored are those that have been present throughout Dorion’s critically acclaimed career: namely, the place of the private individual in the public space.
