Dany Laferrière OC OQ French pronunciation: [dani lafɛʁjɛʁ] Windsor Kléber Laferrière , 13 April 1953) is a Haitian-Canadian novelist and journalist who writes in French.[1] Académie française on 12 December 2013, and inducted in May 2015.[2]
Born in Port-au-Prince , Haiti , and raised in Petit-Goâve , Laferrière worked as a journalist in Haiti before moving to Canada in 1976.[3] TQS network.[3]
Laferrière published his first novel, How to Make Love to a Negro Without Getting Tired (Comment faire l'amour avec un nègre sans se fatiguer)[3] screenplay by Laferrière and Richard Sadler , earning a Genie Award nomination for best adapted screenplay at the 11th Genie Awards in 1990. The film adaptation of the novel starred Isaach De Bankolé and was directed by Jacques W. Benoit .
Laferrière writes exclusively in French, although some of his works have been published in English translation by David Homel .
Several further films have been adapted from his work, including On the Verge of a Fever (Le Goût des jeunes filles)Heading South (Vers le sud)Voodoo Taxi How to Conquer America in One Night (Comment conquérir l'Amérique en une nuit)
In 2009, Laferrière won the prestigious Prix Médicis for his 11th novel, L'énigme du retour . Upon receiving the prize, he commented on its ability to open up a new readership in France, giving him visibility there. In the past Laferrière had always refused to be published in the fall, a season associated with the great literary prizes, but had been recommended to do so with L'énigme du retour by his editors. The novel follows Laferrière as he returns to his birthplace in Haiti, 33 years after he left it, upon learning of his father's death in New York City . The narrative blurs the line between prose and poetry, resembling haiku structures in some sections.
On 12 December 2013, Laferrière was elected on the first round of balloting to Seat no. 2 of the Académie française , becoming the first Haitian, the first Canadian and the first Quebecer to receive that honour.[4] [5] Senegalese writer and statesman Léopold Sédar Senghor in 1983.[2]
On 3 June 2014, he was awarded the International Literature Award by the House of World Cultures for his novel The Return (L'enigme du retour ).[6]
In 2014, he was appointed officer of the National Order of Quebec .[7] Order of Canada with the grade of officer.[8]
In 2016, Laferrière won the Martin Luther King Jr. Achievement Award for his literary achievements.
Laferrière lives in Miami , Florida .
