Abstract

This article discusses the writings of the French-Canadian author Jean-François Chassay and their relationship to French-Canadian ethnicity and cultural identity. His work "Les taches solaires" is specifically examined. This work looks at the history of French-Canadians on the North-American continent and their struggle for cultural autonomy on an anglophone continent. Other themes discussed in the article include the relationship between Quebec and the United States, North-American post-modernism, and historical fiction.
