Strange Words by Patrick Chamoiseau
Drawn from a harsh world of slavery, sugar plantations and hunger, this collection of Creole folktales is based on stories which the author heard as a child.
Patrick Chamoiseau is fast emerging as one of the preeminent writers in the world today. His novel Texaco won the Prix Goncourt in 1992. Childhood covers the period just prior to that recounted in his memoir School Days (Nebraska 1997). Carol Volk's many translations include Tahar Ben Jelloun's Corruption, Emmanuel Bove's Night Departure, and Amelie Nothomb's The Stranger Next Door.
