Book Synopsis
Focusing on the commonalties revealed in their shared language and colonial history, the author examines the work of six writers who, while artistically distinct and geographically scattered, share complex sensibilities regarding their own relationship to France and the French language.

Trade Review
“Countermodernism and Francophone Literary Culture will fascinate its readers. It would be difficult to find a specialist more knowledgeable and more able to share his uniquely perceptive sense of francophone culture.”—Michael Riffaterre, Columbia University
“A first-rate contribution to universal knowledge. This book is destined to remain a classic of the new semiotic critical approach of authors. It will be indispensable to students around the world enrolled in programs in literatures of the French expression and to professors who teach these literatures.”—Gérard Etienne, Université de Moncton
