Yves Thériault ou l’ouverture à l’Autre Entretien Quels types de rapports les Juifs et les Québécois entretenaient-ils dans les années 1950, époque où les frontières linguistiques et confessionnelles étaient clairement tranchées ? Yves Thériault sera un des premiers écrivains québécois à surmonter les barrières ethniques en s’intéressant aux Juifs du Québec. Il publie Aaron, en 1954, dont l’histoire se déroule dans les milieux hassidiques de Montréal. Cette œuvre recevra, la même année, le prix de la province de Québec.

In Northern Experience and the Myths of Canadian Culture Renée Hulan disputes the notion that the north is a source of distinct collective identity for Canadians. Through a synthesis of critical, historical, and theoretical approaches to northern subjects in literary studies, she challenges the epistemology used to support this idea.

W. Donald Wilson and Paul G. Socken’s translation of Aaron, by Québécois author Yves Thériault, makes this fine novel available in English for the first time. An exploration of “otherness,” the story centres on Moishe, an Orthodox Jew and refugee from Russia, who is raising his grandson, Aaron, alone in Montreal, following the deaths of Aaron’s parents. Poverty-stricken, Moshe works as a tailor, maintains his strict adherence to Orthodoxy, and educates Aaron to follow in his path. Aaron becomes increasingly estranged from his grandfather’s ways, however, and his meeting with the militantly secular Jewish girl Viedna confirms his decision to embrace modernity, secularism, and materialism and to reject his faith entirely. The story portrays a tragically polarized situation in which neither side is able to communicate or to build an alternative world view that incorporates both tradition and modernity. Possibly Thériault’s finest novel, Aaron is a parable of our modern world and a poignant cautionary tale.
