Contemporary Quebec Literature



This course offers a deep understanding of contemporary Quebec literature through three seminal works published since the turn of the millennium. The themes explored in the analysis, explained through various interpretive approaches, will enable students to grasp the spirit that animates current Quebec literature. Textual analysis contributes to the practical use of the French language for the purpose of understanding Quebec culture, a distinct French culture within North America.
