Texaco: A Novel


COPY LINK URL ON DESCRIPTION

Chamoiseau is a writer who has the sophistication of the

modern novelist, and it is from that position (as an heir of

Joyce and Kafka) that he holds out his hand to the oral

prehistory of literature.--Milan KunderaOf black Martinican

provenance, Patrick Chamoiseau gives us Texaco (winner of

the Prix Goncourt, France's most prestigious literary prize), an

international literary achievement, tracing one hundred and

fifty years of post-slavery Caribbean history: a novel that is as

much about self-affirmation engendered by memory as it is

about a quest for the adequacy of its own form.In a narrative

composed of short sequences, each recounting episodes or

developments of moment, and interspersed with extracts from

fictive notebooks and from statements by an urban planner,

Marie-Sophie Laborieux, the saucy, aging daughter of a slave

affranchised by his master, tells the story of the tormented

foundation of her people's identity. The shantytown established

by Marie-Sophie is menaced from without by hostile

landowners and from within by the volatility of its own

provisional state. Hers is a brilliant polyphonic rendering of

individual stories informed by rhythmic orality and subversive

humor that shape a collective experience.A joyous affirmation

of literature that brings to mind Boccaccio, La Fontaine, Lewis

Carroll, Montaigne, Rabelais, and Joyce, Texaco is a work of

rare power and ambition, a masterpiece.
