Biography
Langevin was born in Montreal, but lost both parents in childhood and spent seven years living in an orphanage.[1] He was educated at the Collège de Montréal, and joined Le Devoir as a journalist in 1945.[1] He also wrote for Le Temps, La Liberté, Le Nouveau Journal and Le Magazin Maclean, and won the Prix Liberté for his journalism in 1967.[1] He was also a news editor for Radio Canada until 1985.
His other novels included Le Temps des hommes (1956), followed by a long period of silence, broken by L'Élan d'Amérique (1972)[4] and Une Chaîne dans le parc (1974).[5] Une Chaîne dans le parc, later translated into English as Orphan Street, was the first Canadian novel ever to be nominated for the Prix Goncourt.[6] He also wrote short stories and dramatic plays for both stage and radio, including Une Nuit d'amour (1954) and L'Oeil du peuple (1957).[1]
He wrote or, at least, published nothing after 1974.
He was awarded the Prix Athanase-David in 1998 for his body of work.[7] A new edition of his works was published in 2013 by Шаблон:Ill.
