ABSTRACT
This chapter examines various forms of mobility in contemporary Montreal fiction. Its examination of literary walking and driving draws on recent work in “walking studies” (Lorimer; Morgan “Walking Studies”), feminine, feminist, and black flânerie (e.g. Elkin; Cadogan), and sensory geographies (e.g. Ferguson; Straw; Chatterjee and High). The chapter closes with a reflection on how various literary mappings and re-mappings shape understandings and experiences of the city, as this expands in the twenty-first century to include “urbs” (Morgan “’Urbs”), or suburban and exurban spaces
