Course objectives
By examining the contemporary period of Quebec novel after 1980, we propose to look at the way this literature is enriched by topical themes of the years between 1980 and 2007 and on the contrary, how literature helps influence the postmodern society of this Canadian province. The course is a logical sequel to the previous course on Quiet Revolution.
