An examination of interrelatedness, influence, and intention in the works of Martinican writer Patrick Chamoiseau

In this issue of Yale French Studies, editors Thomas Trezise and Charly Verstraet assemble essays exploring the work of Martinican writer Patrick Chamoiseau. As a public intellectual concerned with affairs both local and global, Chamoiseau has crafted a body of work that reaches beyond the traditional borders of the Caribbean while maintaining the interrelatedness of the islands with the rest of the world. Contributors to the volume, including Chamoiseau himself, examine his novels, memoirs, poetics, and depictions of trauma, darkness, animals, and more to reveal the way his words cannot be contained within traditional boundaries (literary, political, or cultural). The collection touches on Chamoiseau's techniques of borrowing, mixing, and subverting European literary genres; his implicit or explicit dialogue with other writers; his engagement with different media; and the connections he draws between historical trauma and natural disaster.

Thomas Trezise is professor of French at Princeton University. He is the author of Witnessing Witnessing: On the Reception of Holocaust Survivor Testimony and Into the Breach: Samuel Beckett and the Ends of Literature, and editor of Yale French Studies, Number 104: Encounters with Levinas. He lives in Thetford, VT, and Princeton, NJ. Charly Verstraet is assistant professor of world languages and cultures at American University. He has published a translation of Patrick Chamoiseau's Crusoe's Footprint. He lives in Bethesda, MD.
