1923. French Canadian novelist who worked as a journalist for French publications in England; then he moved to Quebec, where he worked as a farm hand. He was killed by a train in 1913. Of his four posthumously published novels, this one, Maria Chapdelaine has become a classic of French Canadian literature. A harsh, realistic story of pioneer life in Quebec, it profoundly influenced subsequent Canadian authors.
