An Interview with Gisele Pineau

Abstract

A writer by passion and a psychiatric nurse by profession, Gisèle Pineau, a French woman with Antillean roots, is part of the generation of writers whose works cannot be confined to a specific time or space and who defy conventions. Gisèle Pineau's writings were first published in Paris by Editions Hatier in 1987. Her short stories appeared on a francophone literary scene which was then dominated by the Creolist authors Patrick Chamoiseau, Raphaël Confiant and Jean Bernabé. Their literary texts and theoretical manifesto Eloge de la créolité [In Praise of Creoleness, 1990] attempted to redefine the parameters of the mergence of a "true" Antillean writing. Pineau's trajectory is different. She is committed to rethinking the Antillean situation and wants to shine a new light on its underlying phenomena.
