The incredible and prolific translator and dramaturge Linda Gaboriau is set to receive the title of Compagne and Compagnon des arts et des lettres du Québec during an investiture ceremony on June 10! This honour given by the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec is awarded to those artists whose outstanding work contributes to the development and reputation of Québec arts and literature at home and abroad.
