One thing is certain: you never get bored with Dany Laferrière. First Haitian and first Quebecer called to the prestigious Académie française, he sits in chair No. 2, that, among others, this of Alexandre Dumas, also of Caribbean origin. His first novel, How to make love with a negro without getting tired, appeared in Quebec in 1985. Dany Laferrière won the Prix Médicis in 2009 with L’enigme du retour. With Dany Laferrière, “the Academy opens to the whole Francophonie” says Hélène Carrère d’Encausse, perpetual secretary of the French Academy. An academician like no other tells us … We listen to him!
