Couverture souple. Condition: Neuf. " Le 15 mars 1977, dans les jardins du collège Villa Maria à Montréal, l'écrivain Hubert Aquin se donnait la mort. L'auteur des romans Prochain épisode, Trou de mémoire, L'antiphonaire et Neige noire était l'une des figures majeures de la littérature québécoise. Pourquoi alors ce suicide ? C'est ce que tentent de savoir les auteurs de cet ouvrage. Leur enquête reconstitue avec minutie toutes les circonstances immédiates de l'événement ; elle se penche sur la moindre parole, la moindre lettre, le moindre signe susceptibles d'éclairer la signification de son suicide, préparé puis signé comme s'il s'agissait de sa dernière oeuvre. Médecin et sociologue, Andrée Yanacopoulo a enseigné aux départements de sociologie de l'Université de Montréal et de l'Université du Québec à Montréal, et au département de psychologie du Cégep de Saint-Laurent. Codirectrice, avec Nicole Brossard, des collections " Idéelles " et " Réelles " aux Éditions du Jour et aux Quinze, initiatrice de l'Édition critique de l'oeuvre d'Hubert Aquin (ÉDAQ) publiée dans BQ et membre de son comité éditorial, elle a, avec Katerine Deslauriers et Emmanuel Aquin, fondé en l'an 2000 les Éditions Point de fuite. Andrée Yanacopoulo a été la compagne d'Hubert Aquin pendant les douze dernières années de sa vie.". …
