Nombre d'écrivains ont été tour à tour fascinés, inspirés ou tourmentés par l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue, ce pays à la fois western catholique…
et Klondike québécois , selon la formule de François Ruph reprise par l'historien Benoît-Beaudry Gourd. On dit qu'il y sévit des froids à couper les loups en deux. On dit que gisent au fond du lac Témiscamingue assez de chevaux pour peupler les écuries d'un village entier. La région de l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue semble superbement méconnue. Pourtant, ce pays aux confins de l'histoire a tant à raconter, tant à montrer. Fin connaisseur de l'histoire littéraire de cette immense contrée où l'orignal broute les nymphéas , Denis Cloutier nous offre une Abitibi-Témiscamingue depuis longtemps débarrassée de son manteau glaciaire, l'essouchée (les premières occupations de la terre) comme celle den-dssour (les mines, la ruée vers les métaux). 2012.
