NEW EDITION of my novel L'Emprise is now available in its 4th paperback revised edition in the series BQ (Bibliothèque québécoise) in Montreal.This novel is available in English translation as Double exposure.
On this novel a critical study in French can be read online at this link:

The critic shares some interesting and pertinent reflexions on this novel. Here is an excerpt in French
"L'auteur est maintenant solidement entré dans le répertoire des nouveaux écrivains de la littérature postmoderne. Dans L'Emprise, Brulotte couvre la gamme des philosophies littéraires modernes, du réalisme au déconstructionisme, qu'il synthétise dans une nouvelle philosophie personnelle, le haptisme. (…) On s'aperçoit peu à peu que L'emprise de Brulotte est un roman à plusieurs niveaux qui implique tout le monde dans une mise en abîme vertigineuse : l'écrivain lui-même, son personnage principal, le personnage sur lequel Block écrit, mais aussi le lecteur qui finalement subit lui aussi l'emprise du système linguistique. (…) L'Emprise introduit subtilement un élément paranoïaque qui fait s'interroger le lecteur sur sa propre condition humaine et sur les rapports de force qu'il entretient avec autrui, avec la Nature et avec lui-même."
