Beaulieu, Victor-Lévy, journalist, novelist, essayist, playwright, publisher (b at St-Paul-de-la-Croix, Qué 2 Sept 1945). A well-known figure, Beaulieu is important to Québec literature as much for his various activities as his own respected writing. He has won many literary prizes : Grand prix littéraire de la Ville de Montréal (Les Grandes-pères, 1971), Gov Gen’s Award (Don Quichotte de la démanche, 1974), Prix France-Canada (Monsieur Melville, 1978) and Prix Jean-Béraud-Molson (Satan Belhumeur, 1981). Beaulieu loves to experiment with various literary styles and shatter their usual boundaries. Blanche forcée (1976) is a story; N’évoque plus que le désenchantement de ta ténèbre, mon si pauvre Abel (1976), a lamentation; Sagamo Job J (1977), a hymn; La Tête de Monsieur Ferron (1979), a humorous epic. As an essayist he is as interested in his literary ancestors (Pour saluer Victor Hugo, 1971; Jack Kerouac, 1972) as in forgotten Québec writings (Manuel de la petite littérature du Québec, 1974). He has written 2 TV series (Les As and Race de monde, an adaptation of the first novel in the «Vraie Saga des Beauchemin») and several plays (including Ma Corriveau, 1976, and Monsieur Zéro, 1977). After working for Éditions du jour and Éditions de l’Aurore, he started his own publishing company, VLB éditeur, in 1976; and has published poetry, novels and plays, each with equal attention to detail. Constantly evolving. Victor-Lévy Beaulieu’s work testifies to his exploration of a real and literary homeland. Reading : G. Bessette, Trois romanciers québécois (1973).
