Gail Scott (born 1945) is a Canadian novelist, short story writer, essayist and translator,[1] best known for her work in experimental forms such as prose poetry[1] and New Narrative.[2] She was a major contributor to 1980s Québécoise feminist language theory, known as écriture au féminin,[3] which explores the relationship between language, bodies, and feminist politics.[4] Many of her novels and stories deal with fragmentation in time, in subjects, and in narrative structures.[5]
