Autorenporträt

Jean-François Beauchemin has been called ¿one of the best-kept secrets¿ of Quebecois literature. He is the recipient of the 2005 Prix France-Québec / Jean Hamelin for Le jour des corneilles and the 2007 Prix des libraires for La fabrication de l¿aube. Most recently, Beauchemin wrote a trilogy of semi-autobiographical books exploring ¿the tragic beauty of the world,¿ which, like Turkana Boy, explore grief, wonder, and the nature of the soul. Le Jour des Corneilles is presently being adapted as an animated film. He lives in Sainte-Anne-des-Lacs, Québec, and writes works of fiction, autobiography, and poetry ¿ none of which have previously been translated.
