Therese is a fiercely independent prostitute of mixed race. Through her eyes, we witness the birth of modern Quebec in the heady days of Les Automatistes and their Refus global after World War II. Both participant and keen observer, she records her intimate relationships with clergy, trade-unionists, fellow sex workers, and artists. As she grows from orphan to apprentice to sage, we behold the evolution of an artist and a soul.

Industry Reviews

“Erotic. Imagistic. Intuitive. Set against the background of Quebec’s political and artistic upheavals, Odalisque is a story of unqualified hope with moments of great beauty.” --Arleen Paré

“DePew takes us on a journey of desire, dreams, love, politics, and aesthetics—a story of survival that is at once quiet, poetic, dark, and full of grace.” -- Gail Spaien

“Luminous, mysterious, shrouded in the stuff of divinity, Odalisque is magnificent." --Kevin Gillese

“Sensual, political, forbidden, and forgiven.” -- Trilby Jeeves
