It just occurred to me that you may know (the work of) Greg Hollingshead, that other wonderful but mostly unknown award-winning Canadian novelist/story-writer. Greg led a seminar in 18th-century English prose non-fiction at UofAlberta when I was there (I wrote a paper on the immaterialisms of Berkeley and Blake), and he subsequently agreed to serve as an adviser for my dissertation (which was never written). I return to his "Bedlam" every few years for the sheer exuberance of the language (sort of like Pynchon's "Mason & Dixon"). I plan to take your "Elle" with me on vacation next week.
Quite a romp as usual, and of course a reminder that I absurdly have not yet read any Douglas Glover fiction. What a stupid world it is where that is possible.
