` One of the major fictional achievements of our century` The Times On the edge of Fort de France, the capital of Martinique, squats a shanty town. It goes by the name of Texaco. One dawn, a stranger arrives
- an urban planner, bearing news. Texaco is to be razed to the ground. & so he is lead to Marie-Sophie Laborieux, the ancient keeper of Texaco`s history, who invites her guest to take a seat & begins the true story of all that is to be lost. Texaco is a creole masterpiece. Told in a newly forged language, it is a riotous collage of indigenous Caribbean & colonial European influences; a kaleidoscopic epic of slavery & revolution, superstition & imagination; a story of human deceits & desires played out to the backdrop of uncontrollable, all powerful History. First published in 1992, it was awarded France`s highest literary award, the Prix Goncourt, & remains an unequivocal classic of Caribbean literature.
