The
Story

COLD CHAOS, Stories from a North, is Nathalie Guilbeault’s first collection of short stories.

 

​Set in northern Quebec, where the author lived most of her adolescent years, the stories decompose the emotional and physical realities of living between the 49th and 55th northern parallels, inside the peacefulness and isolation of its landscape. Humorous, dark, and sometimes tragic, Guilbeault's fourteen stories wink at each other, bringing the reader into a larger narrative, one that brushes against the themes of loss; of love; of coming of age.

 

Auto-fictive in essence, Guilbeault's writings press on memory's core, a place where imagination and truths mingle.

praise

"Nathalie Guilbeault’s Cold Chaos is a beautifully written collection of stories that explore memory, identity, and life in the North. With vivid and honest storytelling, Guilbeault brings readers into harsh and deeply moving landscapes. The mix of personal reflection and fiction makes each story feel real and immersive. Thoughtful and quietly powerful, Cold Chaos is a book that stays with you long after you finish reading."
