His first novel, L’Avalée des avalés The Swallower Swallowed (1966), won the Governor General’s Literary Award in 1967 and the CBC’s Canada Reads francophone competition in 2005. This work also garnered him a nomination for France’s prestigious Prix Goncourt. His second novel, Le Nez qui voque (1967), was awarded the Prix littéraire de la province de Québec. These two, plus a third novel, L’Océantume (1968), were published during the years of the Quiet Revolution in Quebec and made a significant impact.
