"For a quarter of a century now, Patrick Chamoiseau has been firmly established in our literary news. But since Éloge de la Créolité (1989) and Texaco (1992), the Martinican writer has not stopped questioning criticism and overflowing landscapes he had installed. The works he inspires thus testify to his resonance in various linguistic spheres on both sides of the Atlantic. To better understand the situation of this author-hub within the vast array of postcolonial literatures, the LLA-Créatis team sought the assistance of researchers from all geographical horizons. With them, in the presence of the writer, we will do justice to the creativity of this storyteller of all kinds. We will also go in the footsteps of the multiple influences at the heart of which he works - but it will be to better understand the originality of this "thinker-actor" of the planetary literature."--

Now available in paperback, this acclaimed book skilfully examines the work of the award-winning writer Patrick Chamoiseau. Considered by many as one of the most innovative writers to hit the French literary scene in over 40 years, Chamoiseau made his name with his book Texaco (published in 1992 and winner of the highest literary prize in France, the Prix Goncourt). His books have gone on to sell millions and his work has been translated by a number of academic presses. McCusker sets the author in context, providing a valuable contribution to ‘memory studies’ by looking at literary representation of memory in Martinique, a society founded on slavery but now politically assimilated to the metropolitan centre, France.

Ce livre articule deux analyses, celle des romans de V. Y. Mudimbe, Patrick Chamoiseau et Abdélkébir Khatibi et celle des modalités par lesquels l’essai brise constamment la linéarité des récits et propose un autre regard ironique sur le monde. L’intrusion du métatexte (l’essai) se veut une machine à réinventer l’univers, et porte paradoxalement l’aveu de son inscription dans une pratique sociale. Mudimbe recourt à la traversée des sciences humaines et sociales, Chamoiseau convoque les célébrités de la littérature mondiale, et Khatibi décrypte le Coran. Les trois écrivains veulent réformer la société, contribuer à sa connaissance et atteindre une vérité poétique, fuyante, multiple. Mudimbe en appelle avec une implacable ironie à une réflexion sur l’irréductibilité de l’altérité humaine. Chamoiseau, réécrivant la mémoire de l’esclavage, pointe du doigt les pièges de l’institution littéraire parisienne et réaffirme la diversité de l’identité antillaise. Khatibi affirme l’écartèlement entre des valeurs et des langues antithétiques, qui le constituent profondément. Par cette identification du métatexte, ce livre recaractérise le pacte de lecture attaché aux romans de ces trois écrivains, et partant, au roman même.
