Ré jean Ducharme
Novelist and playwright Ré jean Ducharme was born in Saint-Fé lix-de-Valois, in the region of Joliette, Quebec in 1941. Ré jean Ducharme is considered one of the most significant and original voices in Quebec literary history. He has also exhibited his sculptures and paintings created with found objects, under the pseudonym Roch Plante. He is not only one of Quebec's most influential playwrights, but also one of the province's enigmas: the man has not been seen in public for over a decade and there are few photographs of him.
