Biography

Loranger left school at the age of 15, there being no public education provision in Québec for girls at the time.[1] At the age of 17 she was writing short fiction for the magazine Revue Populaire.[3] She started writing radio scripts in 1938, often collaborating with the poet, novelist and playwright Robert Choquette.[2] In 1949 she published her first novel, Mathieu, which was a success with critics and the public. In the 1950s and 1960s she wrote many TV dramas, notably the series Sous le signe du lion (1961–62).[3] In 1965 she turned her attention to the theatre with the play Une maison … un jour, which toured France and Russia.[3] She won the 1967 Governor General's Awards with Encore cinq minutes in the French "poetry or drama" section.[4]

Loranger died in Montreal.
