Born: August 1, 1916, Saint-Catherine de Fassamboldt [died] January 22, 2000. Montreal. French-Canadian novelist, poet, and playwright. Influenced by her father, a literary critic, she began to write. She spent most of her writing career in France, producing powerful poems and novels that vividly portray the extreme emotional fluctuations and loneliness of her childhood in Quebec, where she suffered from scarlet fever and pleurisy. After publishing her first collection of poems, Les Songes en équilibre (Dreams of Equilibrium), in 1942, she demonstrated her maturity as a poet with Le Tombeau des rois (1953) and Mystère de la parole (The Mystery of Words) (1960). Six of her eight novels are set in Quebec and are sharply written explorations of the human psyche, exploring the difficulties of loving and the inevitable passions inherent in human beings. His first collection of short stories, Le Torrent (1950), is a shocking work that focuses on the relationship between a boy and his strict mother, and has become a classic. His masterpiece of intricate suspense, Kamouraska (1970), won the French Book Prize, and his work Les Fous de Bassan (1982) won the Femina Prize. (→Canadian Literature) Ebert |
