La topographie américaine de Dany Laferrière

The following article focuses on the American Anthology by Dany Laferrière, a writer originally from Haiti who decided, following his voluntary exile in Québec, to publish exclusively in Montreal and in French and to live in Miami. "Auteur déplacé", he does not like classifications: black, Haitian, French, Quebec, etc., but is considered an American writer tout court. His Americanness, accompanied by an opaque, nomadic and wandering writing style, reveals a plural identity belonging and a hybrid cultural belonging.
