	Contemporary Literary Criticism \| Ferron, Jacques \| INTRODUCTION
		Ferron was born on January 20, 1921, in Louisville, Quebec, and received his early education at Trois-Rivières before attending the Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf in Montreal.
		Ferron's interest in medicine and politics pervades much of his literary work, and the image of Quebec as an exiled country—suggested in the title of his first short story collection Contes du pays incertain ("Tales of the Uncertain Country")—is employed throughout his writing.
		Ferron's dramas, written early in his career, are commonly considered unremarkable, and his works did not begin to receive serious critical attention until Contes du pays incertain won the Governor General's Award.

	Jacques Ferron en exotopie
		Ferron's substitution of syntagm (metonymy) for paradigm (metaphor) thus assumes the character of a pact with the Devil, who will not forget to claim his due...
		Ferron's la Nuit and the Polish novelist Konwicki's The Ascent are built on the theme of wandering about in a city and returning to the biographical past which projects ideological conflicts against the backdrop of the two writers' socio-cultural imagination.
		What Ferron produces in effect is a veritable "family portrait"; this is particularly true of his maternal descent, for which the four-volume history of the Ursulines of Trois-Rivières serves by and large as "biblio-text".

	Ylife, January 30, 2006-A write's voice: Glendon celebrates the legacy of Jacques Ferron
		The Glendon Gallery was the second stop of an itinerant multimedia show from Montreal, commemorating the 20th anniversary of the death of Jacques Ferron: medical doctor, humorist, author, playwright, inveterate letter-writer and originator of the satirical Rhinoceros Party of Canada.
		The exhibition, which has been in the works for over a year, was the result of a collaboration of members of the Society of Friends of Jacques Ferron, coordinated by Luc Gauvreau, secretary and Webmaster of the society.
		A socialist who believed that Quebec needed to separate for its survival as a distinct culture, Ferron also founded the Rhinoceros Party in 1963, a bona fide registered political party, whose credo was promising to keep none of its promises.

	Books in Canada - Review
		At the time of Jacques Ferron's death in 1985 no major new book by him had been published in Quebec for many years The silence was troubling and eloquent in the case of a writer whose voice had been resonant throughout the 1960s and '70s.
		Most readers knew that Ferron was going through a period of painful personal crisis and that he had effectively withdrawn from public life.
		Gamelin is another name for Saint Jean-deDieu hospital, where, in 1970 and 1971, Ferron, a general practitioner, ministered to the mentally ill, often defying medical orthodoxy and the institutional authority he was answerable to.

	Making Sense of Health, Illness and Disease - Session 9
		The purpose of this paper is to shed light on that phenomenon by studying the case of Quebec's Jacques Ferron (1921-1985), a much celebrated literary figure and a family physician for almost forty years.
		Ferron is the author of a prodigious body of work, which contains powerful fictions of illness and healing and much outspoken commentary on medicine.
		We will concentrate here on published interviews, on Ferron's polemical writings -letters to the editor, essays -, as well as on passages from novels and short stories, where there are bold authorial intrusions and Ferron comes as close as one can in fiction to speaking out in his own name.

		Born in 1921 in the town of Louiseville, 30 km west of Trois-Rivières, Jacques Ferron was the oldest of five children.
		According to Dr. Pierre Migneault, a semi-retired psychiatrist and an ardent admirer of Dr. Ferron, the latter was attracted by the important social function of doctors in Quebec.
		In 1966, Dr. Ferron ran for (and was defeated) the Rassemblement pour l'Indépendance nationale, the forerunner of the Parti Québécois.

	Spirale - Extrait du magazine
		Pour Ferron, Gauvreau mérite d’être compris dans sa dynamique propre, à partir des contradictions réelles qui l’ont lacéré.
		Ferron lui-même mérite d’être évalué autrement qu’à partir de l’effet de solidarité induit par le nationalisme; il faut l’examiner aussi en compétition avec les autres écrivains et intellectuels québécois, rapports de force qui vont de la critique amicale à l’opposition ouverte, en passant par la taquinerie, l’interrogation sceptique, la satire pernicieuse et le combat réglé.
		Fatigant, le Ferron, fourrant son nez partout, vif à débusquer les petites menteries et mystifications, à déterrer les oubliés de l’histoire.

		Après tout, le lecteur, surtout le lecteur de Ferron, pourrait désirer autre chose que le sens (l'ordre, la clarté, la cohérence) et tirer précisément plaisir de sa perplexité suscitée par la complexité textuelle.
		Désinvolte, Ferron certes l'était, mais il prenait très au sérieux cette légèreté des jeux de mots.
		Jacques Ferron se donnait beaucoup de mal pour laisser entendre ce qu'il voulait dire - sans le dire en toutes lettres, bien entendu.

	Meta : Translating Ferron, Ferron Translating: Thoughts on an Example of "Translation Within" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		What I'm going to present here is a close and curious translator's look at a moment in Jacques Ferron's work--a moment that constitutes an instance of trans-national reading[ 1 ] and a very literal example of "translation within." It occurs in a text (it's spread across two texts, actually) that I myself did not translate.
		For years, little of significance, and certainly neither death nor redemption, could happen to Québécois protagonists of Ferron's fiction without reference to this Frank, who can be seen as the embodiment of all that is despicable and admirable in the English Canadian.
		The decision of course is Ferron's,[ 2 ] and in the fiction, Frank's.

		Noël Audet distingue parfaitement l'usage esthétique que fait Ferron du vernaculaire et l'usage moins heureux qu'en ont fait d'autres auteurs.
		Avec Ferron, la signifiance se propulse même à autre degré, puisque toute cette harmonisation fait naître une tonalité générale d'humour qui, paradoxalement, grince quelque peu dans le contexte morbide et chaotique de la crise d'Octobre 70 au cours de laquelle fut réécrit le Salut de l'Irlande.
		Ferron, l'auteur, recherche, par personne interposée, c'est-à-dire par l'intermédiaire de ses narrateurs et personnages, ces situation d'asymétrie que l'existentialisme a explorées et dont Bakhtine, dans Esthétique de la création verbale, nous a révélé l'importance en littérature.

		Les nombreux extraits de l'oeuvre de Ferron, qui composent la trame narrative du long métrage, inspirent au cinéaste des clairs-obscurs aux frontières du fantastique, nous entraînant dans une envoûtante traversée entre le réel et l'imaginaire.
		Jacques Ferron a écrit une oeuvre empreinte d'humanisme qui compte parmi les joyaux de la littérature québécoise.

		Selon Jacques Ferron, cela suggère que l'État central aurait préparé d'avance son processus de terrorisation sociale afin d'écraser complètement la gauche Québécoise.
		Certains faits cités par Ferron tendent à démontrer que la CIA s'est vivement interessée au mouvement séparatiste, au point même que l'agence d'espionnage américaine aurait songé à utiliser le Québec comme terrain d'expérimentation pour observer la maîtrise des conflits sociaux et du terrorisme dans un pays industrialisé.

		Ferron's portrayal of Aubertin balances satire and sympathy: while the naïveté and ridiculousness of his imagination--both in his pride about his pioneering achievements and in his new social ambitions--are exposed, his pity for Emmanuel is not mocked.
		Ferron is not content with a sentimental, fl-and-white separation between salvation and damnation, between constructive and destructive fancies or deeds.
		(Then Ferron plays a joke on his narrator by having him return to the mirror for further study, only to feel Bessette's hand grip his shoulder, flesh-and-blood reality interrupting mirrored images.) At the time of the narrating, a decade later, the narrator is still haunted by the hypocritical indifference of most observers at Cotnoir's funeral.
