Un simple examen qui change tout…
Tumblr media
Patrick Senécal.
Résonances. 340 pages.
Éditions Alire.
Pour certaines personnes, passer une IRM s’avère une expérience angoissante. C’est ce que découvre Théodore Moisan, un écrivain de cinquante et un ans au succès modeste, pour qui ce simple examen médical se transforme, à son grand étonnement, en une épreuve terrifiante. Heureusement, le tout ne dure qu’une quarantaine de minutes et il se dit que cela n’a été qu’un mauvais moment à passer. Or, à la suite de l’examen, Théodore oublie certains trucs, comme son dîner avec sa fille Camille, ou le lancement littéraire de sa collègue Gerda, et même des événements de son passé… Et quelque chose cloche autour de lui : les gens agissent bizarrement, il assiste à une agression violente dans la ruelle si tranquille de son quartier, il croise un policier qui semble douter de son témoignage, sa femme elle-même, Julia, lui paraît différente, détachée… L’examen médical de Théodore a peut-être causé ses pertes de mémoire, mais comment peut-il avoir un impact sur les gens autour de lui? D’ailleurs, est-ce les gens qui ont changé… ou lui-même? Que s’est-il donc passé durant cette IRM?
Mon avis :
Encore un roman que Patrick Senécal réussi à me faire lire d’une traite. C’est littéralement un « page turner », difficile d’y sortir quand le roman est commencé. Je l’ai trouvé un peu différent des autres. Cependant, il y a de l’horreur et la psychologie des personnages est très intéressante. Le roman débute par un simple examen, une IRM, mais durant la lecture, Théodore, le personnage principal, sera devant des événements bizarres, parfois incompréhensibles. Durant la lecture, il y a des clins d’œil de d’autres romans de l’auteur, j’adore ces petits passages. Comme toujours, j’ai vraiment apprécié cette lecture avec une fin particulière.
Avez-vous réussi à lire ce roman?

Know any fiction books set in Canada? I have at least once for every state in the US. But I don't know if I have any Canadian books. Thinking about one for every Providence.
An obvious one would be Anne of Green Gables for PEI
A friend keeps recommending me books from Patrick Senecal. They're horror novels set in Montreal. Theres this book i remember reading in highschool a mystery set in late 1800s in the north. If I find the title i'll let you know. My reading list tends to gear towards genre fiction. Can't really think of any explictly set in Canada.
This was an interesting ask to answer anon, I wish you luck on your list!

Avec «Flots», Patrick Senécal replonge habilement ses fidèles lecteurs dans l’horreur et la cruauté, mais cette fois à travers les mots d’une fillette…
Florence, 8 ans, vit dans une famille dysfonctionnelle: son père est complotiste, paranoïaque et violent, sa mère est quelque peu alcoolique et obsédée par les films d’horreur. Pour raconter ce qui se passe à la maison, mais surtout pour comprendre ses émotions, elle écrit son journal intime. Dans les pages de ses petits cahiers fleuris sont consignées des atrocités sans nom. On sera à la fois dégoûté, inquiet, surpris et perplexe.
Évidemment, c’est une lecture difficile en temps de confinement, d’autant plus que l’histoire se passe au tout début de la pandémie... Mais si vous aimez le genre, vous serez assurément servis! Les fans vont certainement apprécier et ils seront les seuls à comprendre la (vraie) chute de l’intrigue…

A pleasant day to you. I'm sure you are asked this question before, but what are the things (that you are aware of) that inspired you to write Enderal/Dreams of the Dying? Also, are there any books, especially but not exclusively in the field of philosophy and psychology, that you would recommend for someone that enjoys your writing (or it could just be your favorites)? Thank you very much. I wish you calm seas and fair winds in your book publication.
Probably too late to answer this, but here goes.
It’s hard for me to pinpoint what exactly inspired me to write either. For Enderal, I’d definitely say a lot of weltschmerz and frustration over how so many people think themselves immune to any sort of weakness or unvirtuous behavior when, in my opinion, we all should try and be extremely aware of our weaknesses and demons. For Dreams, a lot stems from my personal experience with mental health problems and even a dissociative experience I had as a teenager. As for your last question, I believe everybody should Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl, though that’s probably not the kind of book you mean. Fiction-wise, I greatly enjoyed all books by Patrick Senecal (and there’s some overlap with the themes I usually cover), but they are French only at the moment. I’ll think some more - thank you for your question!

Histoires sombres.
Tumblr media
Recueil de plusieurs auteurs.
Montréal noir. 194 pages.
Les 400 coups.
Une unité de lieu: Montréal... mais noir. Patrick Senécal raconte une course contre la montre, empreinte de vengeance et de culpabilité, dans les rues du centre-ville à l'heure de pointe. Marie-Claire Blais dévoile la destinée sombre de Xuan, par une nuit chaude et étouffante sur la rue Sainte-Catherine. François Barcelo dépeint une métropole enneigée, à travers une recherche macabre du lieu idéal pour se débarrasser d'un cadavre. André Truand imagine les tourments d'une jeune âme parcourant la ville d'est en ouest, en revenant sur le drame qui a mené à sa mort. Chrystine Brouillet plonge au cœur d'une enquête impliquant un chauffeur de taxi montréalais, un bébé abandonné et un junkie mort dans d'étranges circonstances. Gilles Pellerin fait chanter les vieilles pierres dans l'appartement lugubre d'un archéologue raté qui se venge sur un stagiaire de Pointe-à Callière. André Marois place trois personnages - un taxidermiste, un propriétaire de salon funéraire et un préposé à la morgue de Montréal - devant un grave dilemme impliquant un cadavre. Inquiétants, angoissants, parfois drôles, les auteurs nous transportent dans les rues les plus sombres de la ville. Et Montréal noir ne fait pas de quartier...
Mon avis:
J'ai adoré ce recueil de plusieurs écrivains! Certains m'étaient moins connus ou que je n'avais lu. Donc ainsi j'ai pu découvrir certains talents. Tous se passent dans la grande métropole, dans certaines histoires, on a l'impression de faire le tour de la ville en lisant leurs pages. J'ai été attiré par ce roman, par le fait qu'il se passe à Montréal et par deux auteurs que j'aime lire depuis des années, Patrick Senécal et Chrystine Brouillet. Par le fait même, j'ai découvert d'autres auteurs et j'ai autant aimé leur plume.
Connaissez-vous ce roman?

12, 13, 14, 20, and 26!
12. Favorite Singer/Band?
Honestly, I consume too much music to have 1 steady favorite artist/singer/band. At the moment, I would say Arcade Fire. The new stuff they put out is beyond what I had hoped for. 
13. Favorite Memory?
The one that comes to mind dates back to when I was in college. My buddy Étienne always dropped by unannounced and one night he came to my place while I was napping. My roomate was about to head out for a drive and invited him to join. They decided to wake me up and ask if I wanted to go. I hesitated but ended up going. It was winter and it had been snowing that day, meaning the roads were a little slippery from the snow. My roomate Dom always liked to test out his poor Kia so he made sure to take the turns just fast enough for the car to drift a little, all within the limit of safety. We didn’t have an itinery, we selected left turn and right turn randomly. it was night, M83 was playing in the car and I vividly remember the big heavy snowdrops coming down very slowly to the sound of “Wait”. That alone was one of the most aesthetically pleasing moment I ever lived through. Then, we eventually ended up somewhere unfamiliar (all of us moved hours away from home for college). There was a huge hollow of light peeking over the trees behind the houses and we all wondered what that was. A factory? A construction site? In the hopes of finding out, we drove around and towards where the light was. Somehow it seemed the light was not as close as we thought it was and reaching it proved harder then expected. Then the road started going downhill, more and more and eventually we saw what it was. Apparently there was a mountain there and the lights came from the ski slopes. We didn’t even know there was a mountain to ski nearby. It was late at night at the slopes were empty because it was passed opening hours. There was only one car in the parking lot but no one in sight. We parked the car and went up the hill. We crossed path with a group of people, most of whom seemed completely drunk. We continued uphill and started throwing snowballs at each other and sliding down the hill as best we could on both feet because we weren’t dressed to slide down on our asses. Afterall, we hadn’t planned on finding a mountain. After a while we went back to the car and saw that the group of mostly drunk people had been pulled over by a police officer. Unsure whether it was because we weren’t allowed to be there (which we weren’t) or because perhaps one of the drunk ones was going to take the wheel. We didn’t want to risk it so we got in the car and left before the cop came to us. We then ended up in a little diner. The type that has orange and white tiles and is lit up by neons. Few hot dogs later we were home, trying to process what just happened. We found a mountain and “dodged” the cops.
14. Favorite Book?
I’m really not that big of a reader but I actually would like to get more into it. If you guys have book suggestions, go for it. Out of the ones I have read, Patrick Senecal’s “Le Passager” (the passenger) was my favorite. This writer is known for being very explicit and gore and he exclusively does horror drama novels. Real good, but I don’t think his work has been translated from french.
20. Blind or Deaf?
Both seem horrible and I really hope I never have to make this decision. If I must chose, I’d go with deaf I guess. As much as I would miss music, I think it must be easier living life and being independent when you’re deaf than when you’re blind. I.E. cooking, driving, even working. Plus, it would give me one hell of a motivation to learn sign language.
26. Shoe size?
9-ish. Why? You wanna buy me shoes? PM me, I’ll send you links.

J’ai lu le roman «Aliss» de Patrick Senécal à sa sortie en 2000. Cette version contemporaine (et, on va se le dire, assez hard) d’Alice au pays des merveilles m’avait beaucoup marquée 😱J’avais 20 ans à l’époque et je me retrouvais un peu dans le personnage principal qui se cherche, qui tente des expériences pour apprendre à mieux se connaître. J’étais donc très curieuse de découvrir la BD 20 ans plus tard! L’adaptation est réussie, les dessins sont très beaux et les personnages, tous plus sombres et inquiétants les uns que les autres, sont parfaitement dépeints. Ceci dit, nul besoin d’avoir lu le roman pour apprécier la BD. Attention par contre, âmes sensibles s’abstenir 😳 En effet, le livre n’est pas emballé avec un petit mot d’avertissement pour rien 😉 C’est TRÈS graphique. Les images que je m’étais inventées à l’époque n’allaient pas aussi loin il me semble 😂 Un plongeon dans le fantastique et le côté sombre de l’humain... 😈

Hey, I've seen that you get a lot of negative backlash for your art (shit along the lines of "kmclaude is evil uwu") but lemme tell you a story about Patrick Senecal. He's a really prolific and popular author here in Quebec and BOY are his novels fucked up. My personal favourite, for example, is an extremely gory and explicit parody of Alice in Wonderland (the title is Aliss if you wanna look it up) and people don't think he's a psychopath because of that. So yeah, keep writing and fuck haters!
Ah, I’ll have to check him out (though my french is very poor so I don’t think I’ll get to read Aliss)! Looks like he started publishing in the 90s -- a good time, it seems, to be plunging into the world with stuff that might make the Marquis de Sade blush. 
That said, you know, there’s a few differences between Senecal and I: he’s published published (with like a publisher and probably an agent or somebody to be like “here’s how to manage yourself PR-wise not like an idiot”) whereas I’m self published published (which isn’t a bad thing per se -- gives me a number of freedoms -- but there ain’t the clout); additionally, I am in fandom spaces and my works and my social media presence are readily available in English spaces while Senecal’s work and presence is in Francophone spaces which...language barrier’s gonna cut off a lot of the Pisscourse™ in an instant. And, not to make any assumptions of him because I do not know anything of his personal or sexual life besides that he’s married with kids, but I do know that I am openly queer -- I’m ace, I’m trans, and the cherry on top is I’m kink-positive if not outright kinky (can you be kinky without being sexual?) -- which, y’know, easy target.
That said, man, I dig the design of his book covers like Aliss, Les Sept Jours du talion, Sur le seuil, et 5150 like I’m a fan of the almost Japonesque name card and then painted illustrations (reminds me of what one of my clients, a boutique publisher, asks me to do for the books he puts out.) 
I wish my French was better so I could read his stuff.

I’ve been thinking about the kind of content I’d like to share here other than my novel and figured this would be a good way to start: Inspiration. There are so many terrific books, songs and movies out there that aren’t well known but have been incredible sources of inspiration. Maybe they can do the same for you. :) 
First up: Patrick Senecal. Senecal is a hugely popular writer in Quebec, but just there. Only a couple of his books have been translated into English, and unfortunately, the translations I found weren’t as good as the originals.
Still: Pick up one of his books (even the English ones are worth it) if you want to be blown away. He mostly writes Horror/Mystery but everything is very character-centric, and some of his works are exceptionally creative. Aliss, for example, is a re-envisioning of “Alice in Wonderland,” where a young woman from the French countryside ends up in an alternate-reality version of Montreal. 
Warning: He doesn’t shy away from risque subjects, so I guess some people might find his work offensive one way or another.
Did any of you read his work? If yes, how did you like it?
