| Description | Born into a family obsessed with the end of the world, where each memberreceives their own vision of the Apocalypse, accompanied by a specific date, teenageHope Randall seeks to obtain her own date of the Apocalypse, as family traditiondemands. Hope, apart from being a Randall, has grown up between two significantsources for the development of an imaginary of the end of the world:The Bibleandmedia.The Biblewas her mother’s favourite reading, a universe to which Hope wasexposed since her childhood. Accelerated speed of the narration, richness of culturalreferences and imaginary of the end of the world make Tarmac part of a contempo-rary trend in Quebec literature. In our contribution, we will analyse the fragmentsof prophecies of the Apocalypse in this work in relation to its representations of theimaginary end of the world and the perspective of Québec literature |
