Join Sutherland House Books and acclaimed journalist and author for the launch of Dream Interrupted: The Rise and Fall of Quebec Nationalism
Presented by Sutherland House Books
Join us for an evening celebrating the release of Dream Interrupted: The Rise and Fall of Quebec Nationalism by acclaimed journalist and filmmaker Francine Pelletier.
Pelletier’s new book offers a mesmerizing blend of memoir and political analysis, tracing how Quebec’s inclusive civic nationalism — championed by René Lévesque — evolved into the more restrictive, values-driven nationalism of today. Drawing on her decades of reporting and her acclaimed documentary Battle for Québec’s Soul, Pelletier brings sharp insight and personal reflection to one of Canada’s most enduring political stories.
With wit, clarity, and courage, Dream Interrupted challenges us to reconsider what it means to be a “good Quebecer” in an era of resurgent identity politics — and what that means for Canada as a whole.
