		However, it should be noted that the dominant opinion in Quebec has always expressed interest and concern for the Francophone minorities.

		Full of the mordant wit and unflinching observations we've come to admire in Bissonette's earlier, award-winning novels and stories, An Appropriate Place is as much a commentary on the triumphs and self-deception of the political generation that refashioned Quebec as it is a dramatic story of one woman looking for her place within a disappointing...

		An author treading on some of the most hazardous paths of recent Quebec history might want to make sure that he will neither sin against the nationalist canons of Quebec historiography nor incur the wrath of one of its high priests.
		This may well explain the decision taken by Yves Lavertu to show the manuscript of his book to Lise Bissonnette, publisher of the nationalistic daily Le Devoir in Montreal.
		As far as we know, Bissonnette is neither a historian nor an authority on the province of Quebec during and immediately after the Second World War or on Nazi collaboration.

		For many Americans, even those within the academic community, Québec first appeared on the horizon as a culture caught up in the tumultuous political and social revolution, a French-speaking people in the process of the discovering the power of their own language.
		Various commentators, inside and outside of Québec, have taken this anniversary of the Quiet Revolution as an opportunity to look back on the reality of the past twenty-five years from the perspective, which, while making no pretension to objectivity, has moved beyond the intense partisan involvement of the events themselves.
		Despite Québec's success in promoting francophone education, however, it may be engaged, as Bissonnette suggests in creating a francophone version of the Canadian mosaic.

		Lucien Bouchard is an intelligent man, albeit according to Dr. Vivian Rakoff, he is rumoured to suffer, and I am quoting now, "from an aesthetic character disorder".
		Certainly Dr. Rakoff’s psychiatric profile of Bouchard enlivened the dog-days of a summer past, featured on the covers of both MacLean's and Saturday Night, and igniting the ire of Bernard Landry and the Le Devoir publisher Lise Bissonnette.
		Bissonnette denounced the Anglophone press for describing Quebec sovereignists as xenophobic, anti-Semitic, racist, fascist, you name it.
