Sommario/riassunto

Ce livre est la première monographie qui tente de présenter l’œuvre de Ryszard Kapuścinski dans toute sa diversité intrinsèque (journalisme d’opinion, correspondances de presse, reportages, récits, notes essayistiques, poésie, photographie) et dans toute sa durée, soit plus de cinquante ans : des premiers poèmes au volume posthume Lapidarium VI. Les auteurs considèrent Kapuścinski avant tout comme un écrivain qui s’est incarné dans la figure d’un journaliste-voyageur et qui, grâce à son talent, a transformé le reportage en outil permettant de formuler des significations universelles tout en préservant sa sensibilité de journaliste aux changements et aux besoins du monde. Le livre propose des interprétations théoriques littéraires des principaux ouvrages de Kapuścinski, mais les auteurs étudient également avec attention le destin personnel de l’écrivain qui était souvent le héros de ses propres textes. La biographie a été traduite en espagnol et en italien.

Sommario/riassunto

As a distinct area of literary study, Asian American literature now enjoys a level of critical recognition that was unimaginable when academic interest in the field began modestly some 25 years ago. Part of this recognition stems from the increasing contributions of Asian American novelists, whose works continue to capture growing levels of popular attention. By the early 1970s, anthologies of creative writing by Asian Americans began to appear, and there are now almost two dozen of them. Since then, numerous Asian American writers, such as Amy Tan, Michael Ondaatje, and Bharati Mukherjee, have gained considerable critical and commercial success.The publication of this reference work reflects the new academic status of Asian American literature. Included are alphabetically arranged entries for 70 Asian American novelists. Since the historical and current experiences of Asians in Canada and the United States are substantially similar, the volume covers authors from both countries. While the majority of the writers profiled in the volume have East Asian backgrounds, some have South Asian or West Asian origins. Each entry is written by an expert contributor and provides a short biography, a discussion of major works and themes, a summary of the novelist's critical reception, and separate bibliographies of primary and secondary sources. The volume concludes with a selected, general bibliography.
