Nearby, a woman, preoccupied with sadness and infatuated with her boss, catalogues antiquities at the Museum of Civilization. Every night, the two women meet at the hotel bar and talk—about childhood and parents and landscapes, about time and art, about Descartes and Francis Bacon and writing.\u003cp\u003e  When \u003ci\u003eYesterday, at the Hotel Clarendon\u003c\/i\u003e appeared in French (as \u003ci\u003eHier\u003c\/i\u003e), the media called it the pinnacle of Brossard's remarkable forty-year literary career.
