Description
Short fiction piece about a writer who can be either American (Phil Porter) or French Canadian (Philippe Carrier) depending from which side of the border he is travelling, or upon which side he sits. The complexity of a dual identity lived out in a single life - with accounts of his troubled youth in Montréal, his adult life in upstate New York - that seems to surface in his epilepsy. The success of his recent autobiography, "Head Waters," and the connections he makes with familiarity, his past, and his estranged father on a book tour that brings him to Montréal.
