"Patrick Chamoiseau : A Critical Introduction examines the career, oeuvre, and literary
theories of one of the most important Caribbean writers living today. Chamoiseau's
work sheds light on the dynamic processes of creolization that have shaped Caribbean
history and culture. He is the recipient of numerous literary prizes, including the
prestigious Prix Goncourt for the epic novel Texaco. The author's diverse body of
work, which includes plays, novels, fictionalized memoirs, treatises, and other genres
of writing, offers a compelling vision of the postcolonial world from a francophone
Caribbean perspective.An important addition to Caribbean literary studies, Patrick
Chamoiseau is an indispensable work for scholars interested in francophone, Caribbean,
and world literatures as well as cultural studies. Scholars and students with interests
in creolization, neocolonialism, and globalization will find this work particularly
valuable.Patrick Chamoiseau brings the writer's major works of fiction into dialogue
with lesser-known texts, including unpublished theatrical works, screenplays, visual
texts, and treatises. This holistic, comprehensive, and largely chronological study
of Chamoiseau's oeuvre includes analyses of various authorial strategies, especially
the use of narrative masques, cross-cultural storytelling techniques, and creolizing
poetics"
