List of Posts
This is an updated list of my posts on Quebec. I am now preparing a post on Trente Arpents (Thirty Acres), a novel published in 1938 by Ringuet. The literature that follows Trente Arpents is about life in cities or small towns. Trente Arpents reminds me of a typical Balzac novel: the rise and fall of… Euchariste Moisan inherits thirty acres, marries, raises a family, but there is a sudden dégringolade. Everything goes wrong…
