Vincent Thibault is a Canadian writer who has published many books in French, including both fiction and nonfiction. His work is surprisingly varied, but keeps exploring key themes—the meaning of kindness; the quest for clarity and wisdom in a hectic and noisy world; and the reconciliation of tradition and modernity. He is also a screenwriter, and a translator of Buddhist texts.
