Anne Hébert (August 1, 1916 – January 22, 2000) was a French Canadian author and poet.
She was voted Canada's top literary award, the Governor General's Award, three times, twice for fiction and once for poetry.
Early life
Hébert was born in Sainte-Catherine-de-Fossambault (name later changed to Sainte-Catherine-de-Portneuf) and then to Sainte-Catherine-de-Cartier, Quebec. Maurice Hébert, her father, was a poet and literary critic. She was a cousin and childhood friend of Hector de Saint-Denys Garneau, a modernist poet. At a young age, she began writing poems and stories.
Career
Hébert's work had been published in a variety of periodicals by the time she was in her early twenties. Les Songes en Équilibre, her first collection of poems, was published in 1942. She writes of herself as existing in a "dreamlike torpor" in the book. It received raves and was rewarded with the Prix David Award.
Hébert's poetry became choked by her uncle's death in 1943, Hector de Saint-Denys Garneau's widowed cousin's death, and by the death of her only sister Marie in 1952, it became choked with images of death and drowning." Le Torrent, Le Torrent, Le Torrent, no Quebec publisher, will publish her 1945 collection of stories. It was finally published in 1950 at the expense of Roger Lemelin. At the time, the provocative tales were considered shocking, but they soared in fame later.
Hébert was a member of Canada's first film bureau. In the 1950s, she worked with Radio Canada, Film Board of Canada, and the National Film Board of Canada.
She could not find a publisher for her second book of an anarchist romance, Le Tombeau des rois (The Tomb of Kings), and had to print it at her own expense in 1953. In 1954, Hébert used a Royal Society of Canada grant to move to Paris, hoping that the city would be more receptive to her writing.
Les Chambres de bois (1958), her first book, was a vivacious tale of violence and brutality portrayed by evocative imagery. Hébert was one of the first Québécois writers to experiment in her writing with the expression of alienation and rebellion rather than realistic narration and discussion.
Hébert de la parole, a new series of poems about more down-to-earth topics than her previous poetry collection, appeared in 1960 during Québec's Quiet Revolution.
Kamouraska, Hébert's 1970 novel, incorporates two romantic and suspenseful tales set in 19th-century Québec.
In the 1990s, Hébert returned to Canada. Un Habit de lumière, her last book, was released in 1998.
In Montreal, Hébert died of bone cancer on January 22, 2000.
