Bonsoir tendresse

Poet, novelist, René Depestre is one of the most original figures of the artistic and intellectual avant-garde of the post-war period. His life follows the chaos of history and espouses a time the hopes: in Paris, he meets André Breton, Louis Aragon and the surrealists, and debate with the representative of the movement of negritude, Aimé Césaire; in Czechoslovakia he befriends Pablo Neruda; in Cuba, he engages with Che Guevara and supports the Castro regime. It is all the effervescence of this life of engagements, and of disillusions too, that restores this book. He returns to the major issues of decolonization and negritude. Rene Depestre, who defines himself as "wandering Haitian", intends to overcome racial separations, which are so many traps where the diversity of cultures and bodies is impoverished.--Translation by Odile Jacob.
