L'âne de Carpizan is a satirical novel from Quebec written by louperivian writer Raymond Goulet, dancer and dance professor, autopublished in 1957[1][2] and re-edited by Moult Éditions in 2019[3].
When published, the book was described as being the most irreverencious quebec novel [4], and later as a punch, an anticlerical charge, an ubuesque crazy and surrealist pamphlet[5].
It is the first known novel written in Quebec in which the narratives revolves around trans identity[2].
Publication
[edit]The Éditions du Cadenas credited on the original edition never existed, it was rather a reference to the Padlock Law[2]. As of 1957, the work was self-published and distributed directly by its author, who abandoned this effort for it was too difficult to deal with.[2]
Reception
[edit]Upon its publishing in 1957, L'âne de Carpizan initially wasn't received by the critics who didn't notice it[6]. Its parution was however confirmed in a single publicity claim published in Le Devoir in november 1957[2].
Its first important mention can be found in a Photo-journal article published ten years later, in 1967. The journalist Roch Poisson relates Adrien Thério's words, announcing the parution of an anthology dedicated to comedy in French Canadian literature.[4]
In the end, excepting Therio's anthology, his desire to eventually republish it, some publicity claims and interviews with the author, the novel's reception was limited to its mention in bibliographic works.[2]
In the fourth tome of the Dictionnaire des oeuvres littéraires du Québec (1982), the book is described as a wacky tale and a disappointing surprise.[7]
