Les 24 heures du roman — Sur les traces de Champlain
Simon Madore
On October 23, 2015 in Halifax, twenty-four writers embarked on a 24-hour journey aboard The Ocean train to write a novel together. After travelling across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario, they made their way to Toronto, replicating Champlain’s route upon his arrival in Canada. Twenty-four writers from Acadia, France, Ontario, Quebec and the First Nations produced a mosaic of stories exploring the past, but also the present and future. The Machine Gum Productions crew, led by filmmaker Simon Madore, captured some of the key moments of this creative voyage outside time. Its final destination: the publication of a novel of nearly 67,200 words written during this 24-hour marathon.
