Notes:
224 p, A letter "en souffrance," in psychoanalytical terms, means a letter that has not been delivered; so Chancé's use of the term in relation to Caribbean authors means not so much that they are "suffering" as that they have not been heard by the ideal reader they seek to reach. Chancé examines the ways in which Caribbean writers such as Chamoiseau, Confiant, Glissant, Condé, and Maximin create texts that synthesize aspects of oral and written literature as well as the Creole and French languages in order to lend their narrators authority as storytellers, in an attempt to better communicate with this long-sought ideal reader. Includes an interview with Chamoiseau from 1997; a bibliography of literary and linguistic theory, anthropology, history, sociology, literary journals, and conferences; and an index of proper names.;
