About Pierre Yergeau
- Pierre Yergeau (born 4 October 1957) is a Canadian novelist. Born in Abitibi, Quebec, Yergeau was educated at Concordia University and the Université de Montréal.
- He has twice been a finalist for the Governor General's Award in French language fiction.
- He is considered one of the most important Canadian novelists, with a dry sense of humour, tendency towards ironic reflections on the American dream, and a brilliant use of rhetoric.
- Even though his novel L'écrivain public received critical acclaim and was later released in a paperback edition, he remains relatively unknown outside Quebec due to lack of translation. Yergeau lives in the region of Lanaudière with his wife and four children.
