Upon recieving the award, Tremblay said, "This makes me think of the 15 year old teenager who, 55 years ago, had started to confide to the blank page all his troubles, his questions, because he couldn't share them." His interest in literature was not encouraged. "I decided to continue because for a long time that was the only way to talk about my problems."
Dr. Gilles Julien was also honored yesterday.
