About the Author:
A writer, professor and publisher, Etienne Beaulieu runs Editions Nota bene and teaches literature at the Cegep de Drummondville. His preferred literary genres are the literary essay, which he finds much more personal in tone than the academic study, and the prose narrative, which he considers very different from the novel given his prose philosophy. In 2014, he published a novella, Trop de lumiere pour Samuel Gaska (Too Much Light for Samuel Gaska), which garnered the City of Montreal's Prix Jacques-Cartier, the Grand Prix du livre de la Ville de Sherbrooke, the Prix Alfred-Desrochers and was a finalist for the Prix Chambery (France). His historical narrative, Thomas Aubert: La Pensee et la mer, will be appearing in 2017.
