La problématique identitaire au tournant du XXIe siècle à tra-vers deux romans québécois: HKPQ (de M. Plomer) et La mémoire de l’eau (de Y. Chen)

Abstract

This article analyses the problem of identity in Quebec literature over the last twenty years through two novels by writers from very different origins, who have published their works in French: Michèle Plomer and Ying Chen. In today’s global world, literary themes are interwoven to the point that the language they are writ-ten in becomes the only common ground that identifies and distinguishes them.
