  • Ecrivains De Nouvelle-Zélande
    revue littéraire mensuelle novembre-décembre 2006 ÉCRIVAINS DE NOUVELLE-ZÉLANDE Les statistiques placent la Nouvelle-Zélande au premier rang mondial pour la lecture — curieusement avec l’Islande, comme si les pôles étaient propices au commerce avec les livres ! Si Katherine Mansfield fut le premier écrivain néo-zélandais de stature internationale et si Janet Frame a déjà trouvé chez nous de fervents lecteurs, presque tout reste à découvrir de cette littérature. À travers des essais, des nouvelles, des extraits de romans et une anthologie de poèmes, c’est un riche panorama de la littérature néo-zélandaise qui nous est ici offert pour la première fois en français. ÉTUDES ET TEXTES DE Pierre Furlan, Lydia Wewers, Gregory O’Brien, Mark Williams, Alice Te Punga Somerville, Selina Tusitala Marsh, Katherine Mansfield, Janet Frame, Patricia Grace, Vincent O’Sullivan, Fiona Kidman, Owen Marshall, Elizabeth Knox, William Brandt, James George, Tracey Slaughter, Jo Randerson, Shona Jones, Allen Curnow, Hone Tuwhare, James K. Baxter, Michael Harlow, Albert Wendt, Bill Manhire, Ian Wedde, Cilla McQueen, Jenny Bornholdt, Andrew Johnston, Tusiata Avia. FRANÇOIS AUGIÉRAS « Il me semble parfois être une étrange étoile » disait François Augiéras. Mort à 46 ans en 1971, il est l’auteur d’une œuvre inclassable et troublante. Des solitudes du désert algérien aux pentes du mont Athos et aux rives de la Vézère, il vécut en vagabond et en ermite païen. Ayant fait le choix du dénuement et de la joie, c’est dans une langue à la fois fruste et raffinée, brutale et caressante, qu’il célébra la terre, le désir amoureux, la folle aventure et les « mille voix de la nuit ».

  • Frank Sargeson [Norris Frank Davey], 1903 – 1982
    157 Frank Sargeson [Norris Frank Davey], 1903 – 1982 Lawrence Jones ‘It is not often a writer can be said to have become a symbol in his own lifetime. It is this quality of your achievement that has prompted us to remember this present occasion’. So Frank Sargeson’s fellow New Zealand fiction-writers ended ‘A Letter to Frank Sargeson’, published in Landfall in March 1953 to mark his fiftieth birthday. They were affirming his status as the most significant writer of prose fiction to emerge from that generation that began in the 1930s to create a modern New Zealand Literature. They were celebrating him first as the creator of the New Zealand critical realist short story and short novel, the writer who provided the literary model with which most of those signing the letter had started. But they were also celebrating him as a symbol and a model not only for what he wrote but for where and how he wrote it. In the editorial ‘Notes’ to that same issue of Landfall Charles Brasch stated of Sargeson that ‘by his courage and his gifts he showed that it was possible to be a writer and contrive to live, somehow, in New Zealand, and all later writers are in his debt’. Not only did he show by his example that it was possible to be a serious New Zealand writer without becoming an expatriate, but as mentor and encourager he fostered the careers of a whole generation of fiction writers. At least two of those who signed the letter (Janet Frame and Maurice Duggan) had even lived or were to live in the army hut behind his cottage for a time when they needed the place of refuge and the encouragement, Duggan in 1950 and again in 1958, Frame in 1955-1956.
