Le Petit Plateau


Michel Tremblay

The Petit Plateau located in the East is where the French speaking character of Montreal is better expressed. It extends from St-Denis to Iberville and from Sherbrooke to the CP Rail.

The famous French writer, Michel Tremblay, lived on Fabre. Son of a working class family, Michel Tremblay was born in 1942. A dominant figure of the Québécois theatre, he is also a novelist, a translator, an adapter and a scenario writer.

Much of Tremblay's fiction speaks of Tremblay's life. His modest origin and the fact that he is a homosexual mark the structure of his writings. In his novels, Tremblay is the narrator who tells a story to a friend. In his works, he projects his vision of the world and of contemporary Quebec. His universe is populated with marginal people, ordinary people, disillusioned women, lovers and much more. Michel Tremblay also speaks of a city, the city of Montreal.
