"The Enigma of Return, Dany Laferrière

From the Haitian writer Dany Laferrière , I had already read the first novel, How to make love to a negro without getting tired (1985), and another Pays sans chapeau (1996). The first light was located in Montreal, Canada, the second, already much more serious in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The Enigma with back (2009), Laferrière continues to spin the theme of exile, in a more personal vein, although still modest, and to do that makes a big difference between Quebec and the Caribbean, between the North and South.

The "return" which he digs the "enigma" is triggered by the death of the father, Windsor, in exile as the son in a large city in North America, New York. One was removed by Papa Doc, the other fled Baby Doc. A father he has thereby so little known and whose death he learned on the phone in the middle of the night in Canada: "The new cut in half the night. / The fateful phone call / That every man mature / Receives a day. / My father just died. " So begins the novel, the writing alternates between prose and free verse.

After briefly followed his father's footsteps in Brooklyn, the narrator decides to go more than thirty years after his exile, Haiti. As a traveling companion with the Notebook of a return home , Aime Cesaire. In Port-au-Prince, he found his mother which will be seen from the two men in her life and that he must announce that the first will never return, while the second will leave soon, his nephew named Danny who dreams of becoming a writer, his old friends that lead somehow the life he fled, the old friends of his father, who became ex-minister, who peasant among the chickens. All of them tell the story, past, present and future of his absence.

much for the characters "real" that dominates the mother figure generous, strong and sacrificed. But The Enigma of return is less populated faces carnal but also living penned by Dany Laferrière. It yal'Exil, of course, bite more insidious than the Canadian winter, injury sharper than the Haitian sun. Yal'Art it, too, that the writer deep in the forests of Quebec or the painters of Petionville. There's Death, above all, pervasive, dark glasses at the time of the Tontons Macoutes in Kawasaki yellow under the reign of gangs. There Hunger finally crawls, eats the entire city of Port-au-Prince, sparing only the rich perched on the hillside ...

Dany Laferrière's writing, a tribute to the poetic tradition Island, is sensitive and beautiful. After reading this book, you find yourself moving his lips to the rhythm of syllables. You feel swallowed up, lost in the ambience of Port-au-Prince and the hinterland, a trip while feeling and restraint. Pain without tears. Beauty without its charms. Intimacy without proximity. It may be that, in exile.

" Little of the monkey, "Boubacar Boris Diop

Monkey kidnappers would it be a figure of African literature? I do not think so, yet it is the second time, after The Past ahead of Gatore Gilbert, that I believe in my recent readings. In The Small the monkey, the Senegalese writer Boubacar Boris Diop it, or rather "they" because they are two, give the title to the book and hold captive Atou Seck, an old inhabitant of a neighborhood ravaged by civil war. But this is a story within a story, a parable from the imagination of the real narrator, Nguirane Faye, who has created an imaginary alter-ago time in a long digression on "The false history Ninki- Nanka. For

Nguirane Faye has never been kidnapped by monkeys. Just her grandchildren and Mbissine Mbissane arrived from France with their mother after the death of the son of Nguirane, they play with some malice and tyranny to urinate on her prayer mat. And "The false history Ninki-Nanka" is one of seven "books" that the old man, the evening of his life, undertook to write to the attention of another grand-son, his favorite, Badou, went abroad, no one knows where, and which is unaccounted for.

Nguirane Faye has a lot to tell Badou. Life in Niaréla, small neighborhood of Dakar: its people, its crazy, its hearsay, its unspoken. The story of their ancestors and their families: its legends, its lies. Cohabitation with his stepdaughter, Yacine Ndiaye, including no more than Mbissine Mbissane and he did not know existed before she arrived in Marseille, some weeping widow, and moves in with him. And then, Of course, this "false history Ninki-Nanka", where a dictator named Dibi Dibi-promises to the people "change" - in Wolof, "sopi" was the campaign slogan of Abdoulaye Wade in 2000 - while the scornful ... royally mess

Many, many metaphors, a lot of things difficult to palpate in this book incredibly lousy and it must be said, somewhat confusing ... but he exudes a certain sense of coherence. Nguirane Faye goes from cock to the ass, but obviously, Boubacar Boris Diop will land on his feet at the end. Boubacar Boris Diop that still feels very present, we hear a few digressions blow to the ear of the narrator, we see another feather trim the Main Plant where it hurts.

Les Petits the monkey, I should have clarified from the outset, are translated into French by Boubacar Boris Diop "himself" and Doomi Golo, a novel written in Wolof by the same Boubacar Boris Diop . Writing if any militant, somewhat in the tradition of Sembene Ousmane whose strikers God's Bits of Wood refused to negotiate in French And besides, whether the episode where an ancestor of Nguirane Faye tries to convert a village to Islam, history of Senegalese wrestling with striking invented by a French, or reflections on the first kiss on the lips exchanged in Africa, the author reminds us how the influence of one culture over another can be insidious. This is one of many messages that contain a novel. But there is also the denunciation of corrupt political leaders, who stole the independence and democracy hostage, when the model Nguirane Faye - and Boubacar Boris Diop It will be understood - Cheikh Anta Diop remains .

Finally, more than the figure of the monkey is that of the madman who haunts this novel. A fool who will take over until the "Books" by Faye Nguirane in a story full of wisdom that should draw two lessons: 1) The insane are not always who you thought. 2) Those that do not believe should listen more crazy from madness of the country they are supposed to lead.
