Choquette – who was born in Shawinigan and studied in Trois-Rivières – wrote articles for a large number of organs, including Harvey's Le Jour. Contrary to what is mentioned on the plaque above, La Nuit ne dort pas is not a novel but a collection of short stories.

On the other side of the door is a plaque dedicated to Jean-Charles Bonenfant, a journalist, librarian and professor of Law at l'Univerisité Laval.
