French Guiana by Patrick Chamoiseau
Hailed by Milan Kundera as an heir of Joyce and Kafka, Prix Goncourt winner Patrick Chamoiseau is among the leading Francophone writers today. With most of his novels having appeared in English, this book opens a new window on his oeuvre. A moving poetic essay that bears witness to the forgotten history of the French penal colony in French Guiana, French Guiana--Memory Traces of the Penal Colony accompanied by more than sixty evocative color photographs by Rodolphe Hammadi and translated, here for the first time, deftly by Matt Reeck.
Patrick Chamoiseau is an award-winning Francophone author from Martinique. He is author of twelve novels, as well as several films and essays. Matt Reeck is the translator of Mirages of the Mind and has won Fulbright, NEA, and PEN/Heim grants.
