Il est presque impossible de se procurer en librairie l'oeuvre d'Arthur Buies, même s'il est admis qu'il est l'un des…

plus grands écrivains québécois du XIXe siècle. D'où l'intérêt de la présente anthologie, préparée par Laurent Mailhot et accueillie par un concert de louanges. Deux cents pages de textes classés en sept chapitres (chroniques intérieures; histoire, politique, polémique; critique; fragments sous forme de dictionnaire; etc) permettent au lecteur de juger de la vivacité, de la variété et du caractère audacieux d'une oeuvre, d'abord censurée puis méconnue. Il est grand temps de découvrir cet attachant polémiste dont la seule ambition a été, peut-être, d'étonner ses contemporains par son style. [SDM

Human-narrated audio

Timothy Findley (1930-2002) was one of Canada's foremost writers—an award-winning novelist, playwright, and short-story writer who began his career as…

an actor in London, England. Findley was instrumental in the development of Canadian literature and publishing in the 1970s and 80s . During those years, he became a vocal advocate for human rights and the anti-war movement. His writing and interviews reveal a man concerned with the state of the world, a man who believed in the importance of not giving in to despair, despite his constant struggle with depression. Findley believed in the power of imagination and creativity to save us. Tiff: A Life of Timothy Findley is the first full biography of this eminent Canadian writer. Sherrill Grace provides insight into Findley's life and struggles through an exploration of his private journals and his relationships with family, his beloved partner, Bill Whitehead, and his close friends, including Alec Guinness, William Hutt, and Margaret Laurence. Based on many interviews and exhaustive archival research, this biography explores Findley's life and work, the issues that consumed him, and his often profound depression over the evils of the twentieth-century. Shining through his darkness are Findley's generous humour, his unforgettable characters, and his hope for the future. These qualities inform canonic works like The Wars (1977), Famous Last Words (1981), Not Wanted on the Voyage (1984), and The Piano Man's Daughter (1995)

Quelle mouche a piqué Julien Mackay, météorologue, pour qu'à 48 ans il quitte brusquement son poste et se mette en…

tête d'écrire son premier roman à Paris? Espère-t-il trouver l'inspiration à l'ombre du Panthéon? La ville fait-elle l'homme? Julien débarque tout habité par ses rêves et ses fantasmes. Il aborde la capitale culturelle en toute innocence, sans parrain ni complice dans le milieu littéraire. Des idées de roman lui passent dans la tête, loufoques ou délirantes. Mais, derrière les mythes et les illusions, la réalité parisienne est parfois difficile et cruelle pour un jeune écrivain en herbe. Dans un texte ironique, affûté, facétieux, Jacques Godbout promène à Paris un Québécois qui, dans son errance teintée d'angoisse, jette sur la ville et ses habitants un regard aussi décalé que décapant. -- 4e de couv
