But Lemelin writes with vigor and energy, he is rooted in the life of the people about whom he writes and knows exactly what he is talking about; and, most important of all, he is steadfastly honest. Roger Lemelin may yet write novels that will make not only French Canada but the entire western world acknowledge him as an important writer...
