This article focuses on the representation of 1960s Ville Jacques-Cartier in La constellation du Lynx. Its hypothesis is that in a Louis Hamelin historical novel, the increase in factual information (what really happened) depends on a corresponding increase in the Quebec territorial myth (the place where it is thought to really have happened). The first is a work of reconstruction, the second of imagination. The result is the figure of a Québec writer who is very attached to places and presents himself as a scrupulous author of tall tales or a storyteller looking for more authenticity in geographical margins. This figure, which critics of the late 2000s have found compelling, would seem to be prefigured by Hamelin.
