It's carnival time in Fort-de-France, Martinique. Before an enthralled crowd, Solibo Magnificent, the great teller of tales, is seemingly choked by his own words. Is it astrostrangulation or murder? The two investigating officers discover a transitory universe at the threshold of oblivion. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Needless to say, they get nowhere, and the neat narrative of the investigation refuses to advance in the approved linear fashion. Random accidents distract the cops from what they are supposed to be doing, whilst looping Creole recursions and excursions keep diverting us away from the matter in hand so that we can learn why a character has a particular name, or what they had for dinner and how it was cooked.
As in Texaco, the chief joy of this book is in the way Chamoiseau’s playful language allows us to feel that we have been given access to the richness of Creole culture. This sometimes sits a little uncomfortably with the rather heavy-handed satire of the police investigation, which keeps on drifting into grand guignol violence, however much the detective tries to pursue a calm, reasonable approach. So a slighter and less satisfying book than Texaco, but still very interesting. ( )
