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…
