concepts les plus populaires, dont ceux de Star Académie et de Loft Story. Ces deux émissions ont été adaptées en France avant de l'être au Québec et ce sont nos cousins français qui ont inventé l'expression stars-kleenex. Le talent des Académiciens de la première cuvée a impressionné bon nombre de Québécois. Ces stars instantanées devaient-elles pour autant être des étoiles filantes? Le marché québécois est-il assez vaste pour "absorber" autant d'artistes? Probablement pas. Cette relève a été exploitée. Pourquoi? Comment? Par qui?

regarder l'avenir ? Sommes-nous dans une situation prometteuse ou en déclin ? La culture est-elle en crise ? Si oui, quelles en sont les manifestations, l'intensité, les causes ? Est-il possible d'y remédier ? S'il n'y a pas de crise, comment caractériser la situation présente ? Comment expliquer la vigueur du discours de crise ? Pour répondre à ces questions, Gérard Bouchard et Alain Roy ont interrogé par voie de sondage 141 intellectuels québécois. Il en résulte un portrait de la situation du Québec actuel aussi riche que nuancé, dont ce livre offre un condensé à partir d'un dépouillement rigoureux des résultats. Ensuite, les deux coauteurs se sont prêtés à leur tour au jeu et ont rédigé, chacun de son côté, un essai en guise de réponse au questionnaire. Rédigés parallèlement à l'analyse des réponses, ces deux essais offrent autant de visions complémentaires et contrastées de notre société. Un livre percutant, intelligent, stimulant, qui apporte un riche matériau aux débats actuels sur la société québécoise." -- 4e de couvSoliah: the Sara Jane Olson story
