Lemelin, Roger

Born Apr. 7, 1919, in Quebec. Canadian writer. Writes in French.

At 17, Lemelin worked for a grain merchant and then was a forester and a boxer. The heroes of Lemelin’s novels The Town Below (1944) and The Plouffe Family (1948) are workers and their families, all active, life-loving people. Lemelin’s work treats Philistinism with deep irony and the Catholic Church with severe criticism. The novel In Quest of Splendor (1952) is a psychological study of a young man’s development and a satire on bourgeois politicians. Lemelin stopped publishing in 1952.
