Pierre Yergeau
Pierre Yergeau (born 4 October 1957) is a Canadian novelist.
Born in Abitibi, Quebec, Yergeau was educated at Concordia University and the Université de Montréal. He has twice been a finalist for the Governor General's Award in French language fiction. He is considered one of the most important Canadian novelists, with a dry sense of humour, tendency towards ironic reflections on the American dream, and a brilliant use of rhetoric. Even though his novel L'écrivain public received critical acclaim and was later released in a paperback edition, he remains relatively unknown outside Quebec due to lack of translation.
Yergeau lives in the region of Lanaudière with his wife and four children.
