Awaiting Oblivion: Decolonization and Deterritorialization
Excerptions from Jonathan York's "Awaiting Oblivion: Decolonization and Deterritorialization" (2014):
Le Boucher reveals the real of the fictive: the real of memories edited and revised; the real that unfolds in the process of unrealing. The wars of independence may have made Popaul a butcher; but butchering became his metier (occupation) only upon his return to a defamiliarized provincial milieu. Even the conventional patterns of courtship in the provinces have altered. Popaul's...
