While here in Yunnan, I have been reading Ramsay Cook's new book The Teeth of Time: Remembering Pierre Elliott Trudeau. On page 94 he quotes Jean Le Moyne (1913-96) who wrote in 1960: "Mon héritage français, je veux le conserver, mais je veux autant garder mon bien anglais et aller au bout de mon invention américaine. Il me faut tout ça pour faire l'homme total." I was quite taken with this idea, albeit perhaps rather obvious, perhaps archaic now. I wonder what my francophone friends from Quebec think about it?
