grard bessette

Grard Bessette (born February 25, 1920, died February 21, 2005) was a noted French Canadian author. He was born in Sainte-Anne-de-Sabrevois , Quebec and attended the University of Montreal where he studied literature and already began to publish works of poetry. One of his most famous works is Le Libraire which is an existentialist tale of a book store employee in a small Quebec town in the 1950s. The book deals with one of Bessette's most common themes: the stifling culture of Quebec of that time. Bessette became a professor first at RMC and then at Queen's. In 1980, he won the Prix David, Quebec's highest literary honour. He retired to Kingston, Ontario.
