This study examines her singular approach to literary commitment as a critical reworking of aesthetic models and modes of interpretation. Focusing on four dominant problematics in Condé?s work?history and globalization in La Belle Créole and Moi, Tituba sorcière...noire de Salem , intertextuality and reception in La migration des c?urs and Célanire cou-coupé , trauma and subjectivity in En attendant le bonheur and Desirada , community and ethics in Traversée de la mangrove and Histoire de la femme cannibale ?this analysis proposes to elucidate how, and to what ends, Condé engages, and alters, approaches to reading, staging the problematic, yet pragmatic, need to read well . This hermeneutic imperative foregrounds the need to engage with texts, to cannibalize texts while recognizing their fundamental opacity and inexhaustibility, their resistance to the reader?s interpretive habits. 410 0$aFrancopolyphonies ;$v7. 606 $aLiterature and morals 615 0$aLiterature and morals. 676 $a843.91409 700 $aSimek$b Nicole Jenette$f1976-$01062493 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778274203321 996 $aEating well, reading well$93711343 997 $aUNINA
