by Dany Laferriere

Le Charme des après-midi sans fin, sans doute le livre de Dany Laferrière le plus autobiographique, nous conte une jeunesse haïtienne en une succession de brefs tableaux sur le cours des jours à Petit-Goâve. Manifeste d'amour adressé par l'auteur à Da, la grand-mère qui l'a élevé, mais aussi, sur fond de crise politique haïtienne, roman initiatique de l'adolescence, ce livre nous émeut par sa tendresse et sa justesse. " Les mères passent leur temps à venir voir si leur fille n'est pas dans les parages du port. Comme toujours, les mères n'ont aucune idée de la façon dont cela se passe. Car si un type veut embrasser une fille, tu peux être sûr qu'il ne restera pas sur le port avec elle. Mais les mères n'ont aucune idée de la réalité. " Par l'auteur de Pays sans chapeau et de Comment faire l'amour avec un nègre sans se fatiguer.
