"If one says that an intellectual work is a work which is for the elite or experts such as professors, scholars or trained readers, 'Double Exposure' is not an intellectual work, it is an accessible and also rich book because the average person as well as the specialist can penetrate into it and find in it their pleasure and an intimate resonance."

"You are expressing the suffering of language and its joy as well." Marc Gariépy, "Lettre publique à G. B., auteur de L'Emprise," Montreal, Krach 7, p.81
"I have read Double Exposure with great interest. First it is well written. An elegant sentence, an easy one that never goes out of its way. (…) It is a novel like no one else. (…) Demonstrates an uncommon sense of observation." Odoric Bouffard, Trois-Rivières, Le Nouvelliste, 24-10-79
"With Double Exposure, Gaetan Brulotte reveals himself a remarkable dowser of the depth of the human soul. (...) He gives essential observations on the dynamic of a double character, his obsessions and regression. (…) This novel is unique in its attempt to define the laws and the extension of all narcissism." Dr Marcel Nadeau, "L'Emprise ou l'envers d'une psychiatrie," Bulletin du Cercle Gabriel-Marcel, Trois-Rivières, Nov. 1979.
"What is coming out of all this and what matters finally are the mastery and the neatness with which Double Exposure develops such subjects and the interest that its formal elaboration succeeds in maintaining in the reader." (…) Brulotte places his reader in a scouring relativism that is genuine and sound." Louise Milot, Dictionnaire des oeuvres littéraires du Québec VI, 1994, 275.
