Nikolski
Winner of CANADA READS 2010 award, Nikolski is a gorgeous, entrancing examination of the invisible connections that tie us to people who might seem to be strangers, and the ways in which fate intervenes to shape our paths through the world.

Nicolas Dickner has been called the "incarnation of the future of Quebec writing." A literary journalist (for Montreal alt-weekly Voir) and erstwhile world traveler, Dickner studied visual arts and literature in university.
In 2005, Dickner published his breathtaking first novel, Nikolski, which earned rapturous reviews as well as Quebec's most prestigious literary awards, including the Prix des libraires du Québec, the Prix littéraire des collegians and the Prix Anne-Hébert (awarded annually to the best first work of fiction in French by a Quebecois writer). Nikolski also won France's Prix Lavinal Printemps des Lecteurs.
Dickner's second novel, Tarmac, came out in Quebec in April 2009. The English-language edition has also been translated by Lazer Lederhendler under the title "Apocalypse for Beginners".
