L’intégration des écrivains immigrants au Québec. La réponse ironique de Dany Laferrière

In an almost irreversible way, the borders move or are reduced. Dany Laferrière, writes from a space which is at the same time both within, and peripheral to, Québec society. His marginality is expressed both explicitly in the thematic material of his writing and textually through choices of language and form. The provocative blend of continuity and difference, affiliation and dissidence expressed in the work of this writer, as well as the importance he gives to language, mark this writing as a significant development in Québec literature.
