Hubert Aquin
Hubert Aquin (24 October 1929 – 15 March 1977) was a Quebec novelist, political activist, essayist, filmmaker and editor.
Aquin was born in Montreal and graduated from the Université de Montréal in 1951.
From 1951 to 1954, he studied at the Institut d'études politiques in Paris.
On his return to Montreal worked for Radio-Canada from 1955 until 1959.
From 1959 until 1964, he also worked as a screenwriter, director and film producer with the National Film Board of Canada.
From 1960 to 1968, Aquin was active in the movement for Quebec independence.
He was an executive member of the first independentist political party, the Rassemblement pour l'indépendance nationale (1960–1969).
In 1964, he announced that he was going "underground" to work for independence through terrorism; he was arrested shortly thereafter and detained for four months in a psychiatric hospital.
It was there that he wrote his first novel, "Prochain épisode" (1965), the story of an imprisoned revolutionary.
In December 1964, he was acquitted of illegal possession of a firearm.
Regarded as a classic of Canadian literature, Aquin's novel "Next Episode" (the English translation of "Prochain épisode" by Sheila Fischman), was chosen for the 2003 edition of CBC Radio's "Canada Reads" competition, where it was championed by journalist Denise Bombardier.
It was the winning title.
An earlier English translation by Penny Williams, keeping the French title, was published in 1967.
The self-destructive thoughts of the novel's narrator foreshadow Aquin's own death: On 15 March 1977, Aquin shot himself in the head.
He left a suicide note claiming his death was a free and positive choice, stating, "I have lived intensely, and now it is over."
A fuller understanding of Aquin's intense life can be gained from Jacques Godbout's biographical documentary, "Deux épisodes dans la vie d'Hubert Aquin" (1979) and from "HA!:
A Self-Murder Mystery" (2003), an experiment in biography by Aquin's friend Gordon Sheppard.
