Comment écrire un roman sans se fatiguer: stratégies perlocutoires d'un best-seller chez Dany Laferrière

Abstract

Comment faire l'amour avec un Nègre sans se fatiguer was well received by both the Québécois public and literary critics. Four narrative strategies enable Dany Laferrière to ensure this dual success. The mimetic strategy consists of writing an authentic-looking document, the temporal strategy aims at creating the illusion of a "live" writing process, the affective strategy appeals to the reader's sympathy while the tensorial strategy seeks to maintain suspense throughout the novel. Laferrière applies all four successfully to explore the complexities of a three-faceted identity, torn between the Canadian, Québécois and Haitian poles.
