Roch Carrier

Roch Carrier, born in 1937 in Sainte-Justine, a village in the Quebec Appalachians, studied at the Université de Montréal and then in Paris, where he defended a thesis at the Sorbonne on Blaise Cendrars. After poems and a collection of tales, he published his first novel in 1968 and became secretary general of the Théâtre du Nouveau Monde. One of his tales, the memory of a Maple Leafs sweater forced on a child who idolised Maurice Richard, appeared on the back of the five-dollar bill. Director of the Canada Council for the Arts, then National Librarian of the National Library of Canada, he lives in Montreal.
