«Les fous de Bassan» is the novel by Anne Hébert, published by France Loisirs in hardcover (226 pages, in French).
Set in Griffin Creek, a village on the Gaspé Peninsula, in the summer of 1936. The disappearance of two teenage cousins unsettles the community and is narrated by several voices, including the pastor Nicolas Jones and Stevens Brown. Anne Hébert thus weaves a story of isolation, desire and violence with poetic, fragmentary prose.
The novel won the Prix Femina in 1982. The France Loisirs edition was published in 1983.
A work of literary fiction for readers interested in French-Canadian narrative, choral stories and unsettling atmospheres.
Anne Hébert, was a Canadian author and poet. She won Canada's top literary honor, the Governor General's Award, three times, twice for fiction and once for poetry.
