11. Roch Carrier's La Guerre, Yes Sir! Review of the novel. http://withoutliterarymerit.tripod.com/carrier.html

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "tripod.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" Check out the NEW Hotbot Tell me when this page is updated Roch Carrier's La Guerre, Yes Sir! A Pile of Shit, Yes Sir! While I was at the Missisauga Central Library last week, I managed to pick up a slim paperback for a buck - Roch Carrier's La Guerre, Yes Sir! , a translation of his 1968 novel. I've never read anything else by Carrier, but I would suspect that his work is pretty much the same. The book is full of characters, albeit not very interesting ones. For an anti-war novel (presumably - it was hard to tell whether it was anti-war, anti-British or what), it was full of characters abusing others, whether it was a father kicking his son in the ass or a soldier demolishing a man's face who praises killing Germans. Since that particular soldier had no personal experience of the horrors of war (he cleaned bathrooms on a base), there was no reason for him to be so violent. That's basically the way the whole novel went. It was impossible to determine what each character's motivation was - a mark of hackwork. All of them are flat; we really don't know anything about any of the characters, about their backgrounds. La Guerre has the feel of a Vonnegut or Heller, but without their class. Full of bitter mockery - of every character, not just the English (soldiers) who "smiled because they didn't understand a word" of French. We find out at the end of the novel that the French Canadian character Corriveau, who was mourned and wept over so much where the reader didn't give a damn about him anymore, died by stepping on a mine while trying to relieve himself. Amusing as that is, Carrier's writing (and/or perhaps the translation by Sheila Fischman) is so incompetent that the reader isn't able to laugh. We're so sick of his family and the other villagers who pray over "poor Corriveau," a French Canadian tragic figure who died in a war that, according to the novel, the French Canadians didn't even want. Who is to blame for this war? The English? Who cares!

12. Interview With Roch Carrier From the Marginal Librarian. http://www.gslis.mcgill.ca/marginal/mar7-2/interview.htm

Interview with Roch Carrier National Librarian of Canada Photo by D. Gwyn Everyone has to start somewhere; in fact an experience similar to the one above can be found on the resume of our current National Librarian, Roch Carrier, who early on in his career learned the value of books and the power of a good sales pitch. His recent appointment as National Librarian will no doubt put these skills to the test as he moves forward to raise the profile of the National Library, and reinforce the importance of libraries and literacy across the country. Mr. Carrier visited McGill's Graduate School of Library and Information Studies in early November and spoke to a full house of staff and students about his role, his vision and his thoughts about information and society. (For a full report on his speech see David Kemper's article When asked about his priorities, Carrier listed three main challenges he faces as National Librarian. The first and foremost is to interpret the governmental mandate for the National Library and fit it into the newly delineated vision. Challenge number two is to take an objective look at what the National Library is doing, and to identify areas for improvement. Challenge number three is to increase funding for libraries. He did not believe that asking for a bigger budget was feasible without addressing the first two challenges on his list. "[Budget] cuts need to be corrected and won't unless people know what libraries are doing." Carrier said. He plans on getting the word out.

Born May 13, 1937 in Sainte-Justine, Quebec, Roch Carrier has always followed his own path. The path leading from his village's outdoor skating rink to the office of Canada's National Librarian has been a long and winding one, filled with many achievements and surprises. One thing that was not a surprise to Roch Carrier was becoming an author. From the time he was a young boy, he knew he wanted to be a writer. Not content to just sit and write all day, he also wanted to be involved in life. He has been able to fulfill both desires.

Thinking about a trout isn't the same as holding it, slippery and trembling, in your hand; but words make a kind of magic that revives dead things and brings to life other things not yet alive. Words bestow life." Roch Carrier, No Country without Grandfathers "To write is to agree to play the great game of life, of love and of death where the soul is condemned to lose at the end of the game, and the novelist is he who never really accepts this role."

The dream therefore takes a major place in the spirit and one develops this ability which is essential to the writer."
