    Jacques Poulin

    Jacques Poulin, novelist, translator (born 23 September 1937 in Saint-Gédéon de Beauce, QC; died 21 August 2025). Author of 14 novels, winner of several literary awards including the Governor General's Literary Award (1978), the Molson Prize (1990) and the Athanase-David Prize (1995), Jacques Poulin is one of the most widely read and critically acclaimed Quebec novelists of his generation. With an understated writing style, stripped down in both syntax and style, seemingly simple and even light, Poulin's novels tell the story of characters in search of themselves and others, wounded rather than torn apart by the desire to rediscover themselves and the almost absolute impossibility of doing so. Meditative solitude, love marked by tenderness and ambiguity, and the desperate gentleness that inhabits the characters in their quests are the favourite themes of a writer concerned with recounting the fragility of beings even in the banality of everyday life.
