Andrea Brady, wise poet and critic, recommended #Chamoiseau in such a way that I realised I should read him. This book, L'Esclave vieil homme et le molosse, 1997, is astonishing (in dialogue with #Glissant), and the translation by Linda Coverdale, 2018 (booksellers: New Press NY/Dialogue Books UK) is a feat. #VendrediLecture #bookstodon #CaribbeanLiterature #francophonie
