![]() Haiti - Culture : Vibrant tribute to Dany Laferrière 15/06/2015 10:39:42
Speech by the Consul General of Haiti in Montreal : "[...] It is an extremely difficult exercise and even impossible to talk in a minute of the Phenomenon Dany Laferrière, someone who is writing one of the most beautiful pages of history of Haiti and Quebec, which has just entered the legend and immortality. A son of Petit-Goâve, Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, France and around the world. The first Haitian and Québécois to open the doors of the most prestigious institution of codification and regulation of the French language, his name is Windsor Klébert said Dany Laferrière which I welcome tonight, his induction into the Musee Grevin in Montreal. Indeed, Dany is the heritage of both communities: Haiti and Quebec. Both communities bear on their own, the torch of the Francophonie in the Americas, and are developing deep exchanges based on the language and Dany Laferrière is the perfect bridge, chosen to move from one culture to another in the purest spirit of vitality of French letters in this part of the world where anglicism made good recipe. It should be recalled that Dany Laferrière is a figure of continuity in time by occupying the seat #2 that had occupied Alexandre Dumas Fils, of Haitian descent, one of the greatest French writers of all time. The fact also to have received the news of his election in Haiti and to have savored it with young people from his hometown, Petit-Goâve, in perfect humility, brings one more chapter to his masterpiece, 'L'Énigme du Retour' (the Enigma of Return), for which he received, the price Medicis 2009. At a time when Haiti is trying to make an image to the face of the world through the development of its more representative samples, the entry of Academician Dany Laferrière in Montreal Musee Grevin tonight is a signal strong showing that Haitian culture is still standing. Haitian culture will still standing, and to repeat the immortal Dany Laferrière 'When everything falls, the culture remains' Vive le Québec, Vive Haiti" See also : https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-14152-haiti-montreal-dany-laferriere-wax-statue-unveiled-at-the-grevin-museum.html https://www.haitilibre.com/article-14038-haiti-litterature-dany-laferriere-a-l-academie-francaise-discours.html (in french) https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-14032-haiti-literature-rain-of-congratulations-to-academician-dany-laferriere.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-14025-haiti-politic-martelly-pays-a-special-tribute-to-the-immortal-dany-laferriere.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-14007-haiti-literature-dany-laferriere-received-his-academician-s-sword.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-13020-haiti-literature-dany-laferriere-at-grevin-museum.html HL/ HaitiLibre
