iciHaiti - Literature : Jacques Stephen Alexis laureate of the Prix Jean d'Ormesson posthumously 07/06/2018 09:12:16
"L'espace d'un cillement", published in 1959, is a masterpiece of a "marvelous realism", a literary genre initiated by Cuban Alejo Carpentier. This novel of love is carried by an incandescent writing. Book written in the present tense, each chapter is cut to the rhythm of the five senses (sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch). This book, sensual and poetic, is an ode to Haiti: its smells, its music, its rage to live. A close writer of Louis Aragon and Aimé Césaire, Jacques Stephen Alexis has inspired a generation of writers including Haitian-born Canadian Dany Laferrière, a colleague of Jean d'Ormesson at the Académie française and a member of the jury. Last year, the publisher Zulma accidentally found the continuation, unfortunately unfinished, of "L'espace d'un cillement" which was published under the title "L'étoile Absinthe". IH/ iciHaiti
