Summary
Montreal publisher Éditions du Boréal is ending its professional relationship with Quebec-based author Thélyson Orélien and will not reprint his award-winning novel, *C’était ça ou mourir*. The publisher said an external review found traces of AI markers in metadata from some working documents, but it does not know how much AI was used. Orélien has denied using AI to write the novel, while acknowledging he used AI tools for research.
