No Passport

A Discovery of Canada

The late Eugene Cloutier
Translated by Joyce Marshall

Series : The Wynford Project

A classic of Canadian travel literature, No Passport is Quebecois novelist and broadcaster Eugène Cloutier's account of his discovery of his country. In the mid-1960s, Cloutier travelled from coast to coast, visiting every province as well as the Yukon. He describes his experiences with wit and elegance. The result is an affectionate portrait of a Canada many still recall but which is no more.

Readership : Readers interested in Canada during the 1960s and French-English relations.

Eugène Cloutier (1921-1975) was a well-known Quebec author and broadcaster. Educated at Laval University and the Sorbonne, he devoted the bulk of his career to writing novels, television and radio scripts, and travel books. His first novel, Les témoins (1953), was awarded the Prix David and was followed by Les inutiles (1956), which won the Prix du Cercle du livre de France. No Passport is a translation of Cloutier's two-volume account of his cross-Canada journeyings, Le Canada sans passeport (1967). The Oxford Companion to Canadian Literature singled out No Passport "for its freshness of approach, its openness to new impressions and experience, and its abundance of humorous and telling incidents."
