Jacques Ferron admired William Faulkner.
Ferron wrote many essays; he also wrote poetry, short stories, plays, and novels/novellas.

Can I just say that I am very impressed that Kari has posted an answer to this question? I had the hardest time trying to decipher exactly what was being said in the radio clip. I don't know if it was because of the Quebecan french or the fact that I couldn't actually see the people who were talking...or maybe I was just being lazy!

I agree with Afua this was a hard one. I couldnt understand the clips either. I couldnt find the info that we were supposed to be looking for.

I'm sure this comes as a surprise, but these are extremely hard to understand, obviously Ferron was a very admired and well respected author and still is today.
