Description
In this story where memories intertwine, Lili/Paul, a little girl who has become an adult, tells her life, between Port-au-Prince, New York and Montreal. With the scars of the first American occupation of Haiti in the background, Mémoire d'une amnésique takes us from the writer's native country, still under the influence of the Duvalier regime, to the turbulent Quebec of the 1970s. Jan J. Dominique explores memory, racism, women's writing, desire, relationships between men and women and, of course, love. Mémoire d'une amnésique won the Henri Deschamps Prize in Haiti in 1984. Still burning with relevance, this novel could not be forgotten and had to cross the borders of the Caribbean.
