Yves Thériault

Yves Thériault (1915-1983), born in Quebec City, claimed Montagnais descent through his paternal grandfather. He left school at around fifteen and held several jobs, trapper, lorry driver, cheese salesman, before becoming a radio announcer in the second half of the thirties. Afflicted with tuberculosis in his youth and self-taught, he was one of the first Quebec writers to make a living from his pen, the author of several dozen books and of more than thirteen hundred texts for radio and television. Winner of the Governor General's Award in 1960, he died in 1983.
