Michel Tremblay's plays have been translated into over twenty-five languages and presented on stages around the world.

 Amazon.ca: Birth of a Bookworm: Books: Michel Tremblay   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Tremblay appears to have spent most of his waking hours with his eyes glued to the page, but, fortunately, he was alert enough to observe at least a little of the activity that surrounded him.
Tremblay's real talent is vested in the theatre, and the liveliest sections of Birth of a Bookworm are the dialogue-driven sketches of the Tremblay women, which often rival his famous Les Belles Soeurs in their gently raucous comedy.
Tremblay's love for his family and friends is abundantly evident, but he seems to be squeamish about the prospect of redemption, and he makes no attempt to whitewash the poverty of his origins, the social status of pre-Quiet Revolution Québecois, or the intellectual stranglehold of the Catholic Church.

Tremblay was among the first Quebec authors to incorporate the Québécois dialect known as joual into literary writing, and there is no useful equivalent in Canadian English idiom for the dialect's inflections and expressions.
Tremblay has gone on to create a diverse and impressive oeuvre, from his Plateau Mont-Royal chronicles (beginning with The Fat Woman Next Door Is Pregnant) to the surreal horrors of Stories for Late Night Drinkers, but Les Belles Soeurs may well continue to be his most important work.
Tremblay's style of writing is keen and neat; he intersperses tragedy with comedy cleverly and without seeming to do so deliberately.

 Michel Tremblay Biography | Dictionary of Literary Biography
Michel Tremblay is the first Canadian playwright to have won international recognition.
Starting from the tradition of social-psychological drama begun by Gratien Gélinas and Marcel Dubé, Tremblay has transcended the work of his predecessors, achieving a successful synthesis between realism and theatricalism in style, the regional and the universal in theme, naturalism and lyricism in dramatic idiom.
Within Quebec his work is frequently classified as "theatre of liberation" and given political significance due to his introduction of the Montreal working-class French joual as a stage idiom, as well as to his merciless naturalism and the political parables that underlie many of his plays.
