The host, who replaces Pénélope McQuade during the summer period, underlined the extent to which certain texts by the poet have reached the general public, in particular the one presented on the show Good evening for Saint John the Baptist. “Are you yourself surprised at how big this has all taken? asks Isabelle Craig to David Goudreault. To which the writer replies that he will take a media break next year.
“I’m going to work, but I’m going to work in my area. I decided that I was quitting writing for The Press, I stop the TV, I really stop everything. I need a step back,” he said.
During this break, he plans to work on his writing projects.
“Cameras and all that is not my first aspiration. Me, I am a writer. I want to be a writer. And I want to write. I want time to write. I want to spend a full week writing,” the author explained.
Currently, “I may be too present. I was teased with this at bye Bye “, continued David Goudreault. He doesn’t want people to start getting tired of hearing or seeing him. “I don’t want anyone hanging out the window,” he joked, referring to the skit on the end-of-year show in which he was impersonated by Yannick de Martino.
In the interview with Isabelle Craig, however, he promises to return with a new show in 2024. “I still want to meet people, I still want to create, I still want to participate in projects , but I want to choose a lot more and I want to let my agenda breathe,” he summarizes.
