Lemelin came home on crutches, adopted the slogan "Bite the apple where it is still good," developed a technique of bicycling with one foot and changed his swimming style so he could swim three miles a day.
Lemelin was in low spirits when he went to the hospital to await the operation, until Albert Pelletier, one of the judges, came to see him.

The imbroglios of Ovide's ambitious journalist friend Denis Boucher, the protagonist of Lemelin's first novel, lead to trouble for all in a community faced with censorship, conscription and militant Catholic trade unions.

There followed a stream of fiction on habitant life in the backwoods, on the farms, and in the villages, by such native Canadians as Robert Choquette, F. Savard, Claude Henri Grignon, Roger Lemelin, and Ringuet.
Although some novels were set in cities and the notable author Robert Charbonneau explored the psychological defeatism of his characters, the realistic regional novel about the simple Catholic community remained dominant until the 1950s.
Important poets since 1914 include ClEment Marchand, whose inspiration is often religious; Alfred DesRochers, who writes of the life of the soil; and Robert Choquette and Roger Brien, whose romantic lyrics are eloquently individualistic.
