Person
Ringuet's distinguished career in medicine complemented his deep commitment to literature. His first book, Writing...in the Style of..., was a series of literary parodies of famous writers. His first novel, Thirty Acres, a panoramic portrait of Quebec's traditional agrarian society in the process of change, won immediate critical acclaim and was translated into Dutch, English, German, and Spanish.
Ringuet's later fiction often explores the discontent that confronts his character in their urban settings.
In 1944 Ringuet was a founding member of L'Académie canadienne-française and served as its president from 1947 until 1953. He was appointed Canadian ambassador to Portugal in 1956.
Ringuet died in Lisbon in 1960.
