Par petites touches singulieres, il tente de savoir ou il se trouve.Si L'Enigme du retour (prix Medicis 2009) etait le roman du retour a Port-au-Prince de Dany Laferriere, Chronique de la derive douce relate son arrivee a Montreal, a l'age de 23 ans. C'est lumineux, poignant, triste et drole comme la vie.

Dany Laferriere prouve une fois encore qu'il est l'un de nos grands auteurs contemporains. Marie Chaudey, La Vie
