Program Name:
Face à l’Opinion
Speaker:
Date:
October 25, 1999
Description:

  • Dany Laferrière pale sou zèv li (li konsidere chak grenn liv yon travay enkonplè; tout liv li yo fè pati yon sèl zèv tout antye), eksperyans li an egzil nan Monreyal, epi izolasyon Yves Montas (yon zanmi mityèl Jean Dominique ak Laferrière) te viv an egzil. Laferrière pa ka defini tèt li ni kòm ekriven ayisyen, ni ekriven franse, ni ekriven kebekwa. Li dekri lanfans li, kay grann li Tigwav, li pale sou papa l, Windsor Kléber Laferrière pè (ansyen majistra Pòtoprens ki te gen yon politik anti-divalyeris), epi li eksplike koman liv li yo sove l.

  • Dany Laferrière discusses his oeuvre (in which he considers each of his books to be an incomplete work; they must be taken as a collective oeuvre), his experience of exile in Montreal, and the isolation of their mutual friend, Yves Montas, in exile. Laferrière cannot define himself clearly as a Haitian writer, a French writer, or a Quebecois writer. He describes his childhood with his grandmother in Petit-Goâve, the life and exile of his father Windsor Kléber Laferrière Sr. (former mayor of Port-au-Prince with an anti-Duvalierist stance), and the ways in which his books have saved him.

  • Dany Laferrière parle de son oeuvre (il considère que chacun de ses livres est une partie et que, collectivement, ils forment un tout), de son expérience d'exilé à Montréal et de l'isolation d'Yves Montas (un ami commun avec Jean Dominique), lui aussi en exil. Laferrière ne peut pas se définir comme un écrivain haïtien, ni comme un écrivain français, ni comme un écrivain québecois. Il raconte son enfance, passée avec sa grand-mère à Petit-Goâve, la vie et l'exil de son père Windsor Kléber Laferrière senior (un ancien maire de Port-au-Prince anti-Duvalier) et explique comment les livres l'ont sauvé.
