Noël Audet

Noël Audet (December 23, 1938 – December 29, 2005) was a Canadian novelist and poet from Quebec.[1] He is most noted as a two-time nominee for the Governor General's Award for French-language fiction, receiving nominations at the 1981 Governor General's Awards for Ah, l'amour l'amour,[2] and at the 1988 Governor General's Awards for L'Ombre de l'épervier.[3]

Born in Maria, Quebec,[1] he published two books of poetry in the 1960s before publishing his debut short story collection Quand la voile faseille in 1980.[4] L'Ombre de l'épervier, his most successful novel, was published in 1988 and was adapted into a television series for Télévision de Radio-Canada in 1998.[5]

Le Roi des planeurs, the final novel published before Audet's death, was released in 2005.[6] One further novel, Entre la boussole et l'étoile, was published posthumously in 2006.[7]

In addition to his writing, Audet was a longtime professor at the Université du Québec à Montréal.[1]
