Description
This is a critical edition of the writings of Roger Dorsinville evoking Africa, focused on his appropriation of traditional storytelling form. It is divided into two parts: the first is Roger Dorsinvilles African Memoirs told in dialogical form, and published in 1990; the second is his unpublished collection of tales from Liberias hinterland, dated 1968. The core of the book is supplemented by an Appendix section that includes original archival material and critical assessments using a readers response approach. Finally, there is a selected bibliography relevant to the subject. . . . .a well-balanced, original, insightful and thought-provoking edition that provides new, critical avenues for our understanding of narrative in dialogical form. It is also a fine critical addition to Dorsinvilles own body of work that deserves to be made available to the English-speaking scholarly community. Marie Hlne Laforest
