-Special issue of French journal Onuphrius 40 (Dec. 2019) entirely devoted to my short story writing. http://onuphrius.fr/
This issue consists of a selection of 2 stories, a presentation of the author by Michel Lord, followed by a conversation with the author. The Editor-in-Chief introduced it in these terms: "For this issue 40, our correspondent and guest editor, Michel Lord, has chosen to present the short story writer Gaëtan Brulotte. This is not one, but two short stories that we offer this time: Cendrine, a modern version of Cinderella, and Tirage sepia, a furious meditation of a novelist (a fictive one, of course) against the kind of idiotic uncritical “youthism” (the systematic worshiping of very young authors used to discriminate against experienced ones) sometimes encountered today in literary journalism. In a word like a hundred, read these short stories, admire the illustration of Sivan Buntova and discover the interview, rather powerful, granted by the author to our kind review." http://onuphrius.fr/conversation-avec-gaetan-brulotte/ ET http://onuphrius.fr/n40-cendrine-tirage-sepia/-“La dimension pédagogique de la littérature érotique : perspectives historiques et contemporaines.

Review o this study in 2019 by C. Fisher in French Studies journal (Oxford University Press, Nov 2018) 73.1 (Jan. 2019:157.
https://doi.org/10.1093/fs/kny241
https://academic.oup.com/fs/article-abstract/73/1/157/5193042?redirectedFrom=fulltext
Excerpt: "Gyurcsik illustrates Brulotte's writing innovations and places them in a line from La Bruyère to Molière, from Sartre to Beckett, from Barthes to Mallarmé, from Rousseau to Pirandello. So far, this is the definitive study on Brulotte. Excellent and refined critical work by Gyurcsik."
Review of this study in 2019 by Elena GHITA in Quaestiones Romanicae VII. Calatorii si calatorl. lncursiuni culturale si lingvistice. 2(2019), U. of Timisoara & Szeged, Romania: Jate Press. 589-90. Print.Excerpt: "This study shows an intellectual affinity between the Romanian critic and the Quebec writer who is concerned with the relationship between living and writing in the contemporary world. The conviction that through literature man can "thwart his precariousness", the ironic distance, the sense of humor, the spirit of openness to renewal animate both of them. This affinity facilitates access to the intention of the writer (…) Faithful to herself and the work that she comments upon, Margareta Gyurcsik also invites us to share what Brulotte calls 'the refinements of language and spirit'. “
Review of this study in 2019 (pub in 2020) by Ileana Neli EIBEN, in Dialogues francophones 22-23 (2019) : 150-152.
Excerpt: “Underlines the originality of the Brulottian creations (...) These are semi-traditional and semi-innovative writings whose originality" consists, among other things, in that the author poses "the question of being" and reflects on the human condition in the contemporary world, using narrative forms that he invents for the most part. (…) Gaëtan Brulotte wonders about the definition and the challenges of literature today. It is from this reflection and the humanism that emerges from it that Margareta Gyurcsik speaks in the chapter "Being, writing, reflecting". This series of verbs expresses, in a very suggestive way, the fundamentals of Brulottian thought which is built around key concepts such as responsibility, action, existence / life and the relation to the other. (...) To conclude, we can paraphrase Margareta Gyurcsik and say that following the reading and analysis of Brulottian texts, she offers, like the writer studied, a book open to the world and to dialogue. "
Review of this study in 2020 by Steven Urquhart in Quebec Studies 68 (fall/winter 2019) : 174-177.Excerpt: «“Having foregrounded the author’s humanism throughout her study, Gyurcsik emphasizes her conclusion that reading Brulotte’s works ultimately teaches us about alterity, According to her analysis, Brulotte invites the reader to step back and not only look, but also laugh at life’s many quirks. (…) Ambitious in scope, Gyurcsik ‘study is thorough, well-researched, original, and decidedly insightful. While obviously aking into account previous criticism on Brulotte, Gyurcsik provides new perspectives on his fiction and critical work ina way that is highly accessible and a pleasure to read. (…) In short, Gyurcsik’s enterprise is formidable and one that other critics of Brulotte’s works will have difficulty surpassing.” Steven Urquhart in Quebec Studies 68 (fall/winter 2019) : 176-177.

Excerpts: "C'est pourquoi on pourrait conclure que l'absurde «tranquille» de Gaëtan Brulotte n'est tranquille qu'en apparence. Il exprime au fond les inquiétudes de l'écrivain postmoderne et relance sous une forme nouvelle et dans un langage «minimaliste et dépouillé» (J.-P. Boucher), teinté d'ironie et d'humour, l'interrogation sur le sens dans sa double hypostase : sens de l'existence, sens de l'écriture. Il est d'ailleurs intéressant de remarquer que Brulotte a publié en 2003 un essai sur l'écriture intitulé La Chambre des lucidités. Comme si, à l'instar de Kafka, il avait voulu suggérer qu'écrire signifie, avant toute chose, "dégager la clarté cachée"."Honorary board member, Otago French Notes, Dunnedin, New Zealand.

SPRING 2007
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."
