Biography

Gilles Archambault (born September 19, 1933 in Montreal, Quebec) is a francophone novelist from Quebec, Canada.

He studied at the Université de Montréal in 1957, and then worked at Radio-Canada, while working as ajournalist. From 1988 to 1997, he broadcast a column on the "CBF Bonjour" program. His work appeared in La Presse, Le Devoir, L'Actualité, and Le Livre d'ici.

He won the Prix Athanase-David in 1981 for his body of work, and a Governor General's Award in 1987 for L'obsédante obèse et autres aggressions, a collection of short prose pieces.
