Translated into nine languages, Bouchard's bold, visionary works have represented Canada at major festivals around the world. Linda Gaboriau is an award-winning literary translator based in Montreal.

Gaboriau has twice won the Governor General's Award for Translation: in 1996, for Daniel Danis's Stone and Ashes, and in 2010, for Wajdi Mouawad's Forests.
“Mother, brother and lover fall into a nightmarish relationship
where all play dangerous roles. … Tom moves us in and out of the
narrative by frequently addressing his dead lover or himself.
Through this dual consciousness, the audience must share the pain
and violence of homophobia.”
– Canadian Literature
“Funny, harsh, tender, and terrible, the play engages us in a
twisted game that plays itself in a rural setting where innocence
and boiling anger collide.” – Montreal Sun
"Extremely well written, a work of great density."
– Catherine Perrin, CBC
