Title
Yvette, Solange et Chantal : Les Québécoises de Mordecai Richler
Abstract
Mordecai Richler (1931-2001) is viewed both as the author of polemics that insult French-speaking Quebecers and as one of the most brilliant of Anglo-Montrealer novelists, leading a number of critics to pronounce a divided judgment on him as a writer. In order to go beyond the conventional ideas associated with this dual representation, the author undertakes to analyze Richler's ambiguous relationship with the Francophone Quebec identity as expressed not in his polemic essays, but in his novels. To carry out this project, the author analyzes the socio-semiotic function of Yvette, Solange and Chantal, three French-speaking female characters from the novels The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz (1959) and Barney's Version (1997).
