John the Baptist beheaded: nationalism, religion and secularism in Quebec
Geneviève Zubrzycki, translated by Nicolas Calvé
Boreal
“It is an essay which analyzes the symbolism of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, with a reflection on our relationship to the national holiday and to the values underlying the national holiday, that is to say secularism, therefore law 21… Geneviève Zubrzycki was born in Quebec, but she teaches in the United States. It is one of the few English-language books on Quebec nationalism through the prism of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, the parade and visual symbols. [L’auteure] says that the Quiet Revolution is also an aesthetic revolution. It’s a bit tucked away, I admit, but I really like the trials. ”

All in all
“I really like Robert Morin; I find it a free electron in Quebec cinema. This is a man that I once met at the time in The evening, I really liked his energy even though he was a bit gruff. I really like his films especially and, [dans le livre], there are three scenarios – in full – including a TV series, but not all the episodes. […] To read scripts that have never seen the light of day, of course, we make our own cinema. We become a little director and director in our turn. ”

“I am in the process of finishing this novel which is magnificent. A very Montreal novel, a modern Montreal, but it’s not a postcard; it’s a foray into the Egyptian Christian religion that I find really interesting, the relationship with Catholicism too, obviously, because he talks about his marriage. Alain Farah really has a sense of the story. We are still talking about a 500-page novel and we are not bored for a single second. It is a novel of disappointed love, friendship, family, religion. ”
