KussipanNaomi Fontaine
Kussipan is Naomi Fontaine’s first novel, from the Innu Uashat community, near Sept-Îles. “These are poetic fragments of the community on which she grew up. We find there the beauty of the ancestral territory with a dialogue on what is less beautiful in everyday life, ”sums up Andréanne.
The prices won over the years, ranging from the revelation of the year in 2011 to the national combat of books in 2025, testify to its status as a must in Quebec and Aboriginal literature.

Peter PanSimon Rousseau
Jacob transports us to horror. “We are served with Peter Pan! It is pure and hard horror. You are disgusted by closing it, but at the same time, that’s what you wanted. “
For the uninitiated, the prohibited tales collection takes up (and transforms) the tales that we have been told as a child. “But it’s not the Disney version!” The author takes up the original tale and transposes it today. It is a great work of modernization. In Peter Panthere is a crocodile character, well in the version of Simon Rousseau, he becomes a criminal who has a skin disease. ”
