Translated from the French by Linda Coverdale. 169 pages. hardcover. Jacket art - 'Laetitia' by Catherine Theodose. keywords: Literature Caribbean Black Martinique Translated. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Adelise is a girl trapped working in the cane fields of Martinique. Yearning for communication, she confides in the mysterious flowering tree in her backyard; her mother calls her a dragonfly, for she refuses to settle down and learn that life is not a game. When Adelise is forced to move from her village to Fort-de-France, the island's politically restive capital, her aunt introduces her to the unsavory business of nightlife among the mulatto elite, and she comes to rely even more on an elaborate system of detachment from her body. 'Raphael Confiant has incontestably become a principal character in French literary history,' a reviewer for Le Monde observed. 'One is struck by the luminous intelligence of his insights, by the wit of his dialogue, by his soaring lyricism.' MAMZELLE DRAGONFLY, the first of Confiant's books to be published in English, is a vivid and intimately affecting novel; its spare style is reminiscent of Cristina Garcia's, while its fiercely independent heroine brings to mind those in Edwidge Danticat's fiction, it is a nostalgic and erotic story, and also a sophisticated look at modern Martinique. inventory #28232.
