As a writer, Condé is best known for her novelSégou(1984–1985).[4]

Condé's writings explore theAfrican diasporathat resulted fromslaveryandcolonialismin theCaribbean.[5]Her novels, written in French, have been translated into English, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Japanese.[6]She won various awards, such as the Grand Prix Littéraire de la Femme (1986),[5]Prix de l'Académie française(1988),[5]Prix Carbet de la Caraïbe(1997)[7]and theNew Academy Prize in Literature(2018) for her works.[5]She was considered a strong contender for theNobel Prize in Literature.[8]

Early life

[edit]

Born inPointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe,on 11 February 1934,[9]she was the youngest of eight children. Her parents were among the first black instructors in Guadeloupe. Her mother, Jeanne Quidal (who was fromMarie-Galante,which island would often feature in Condé's creative writing),[10]directed her own school for girls. Her father, Auguste Boucolon — previously an educator – founded the small bank "La Caisse Coopérative des prêts", which was later renamed "La Banque Antillaise."[11]

Condé's father, Auguste Boucolon, had two sons from his first marriage: Serge and Albert. Condé's three sisters were Ena, Jeanne, and Gillette, and her brothers were Auguste, Jean, René, and Guy.[11]Condé was born 11 years after Guy, when her mother was 43, and her father 63. Condé described herself as "the spoiled child", which she attributed to her parents' older age, as well as the age-gap between her and her siblings.[11]

Condé began writing at an early age. Before she was 12 years old, she had written a one-act, one-person play. The play was written as a gift for her mother's birthday.[11]

After having graduated from high school, Condé attendedLycée Fénelonfrom 1953 to 1955, being expelled after two years of attendance. She furthered her studies at theUniversité de Paris III(Sorbonne Nouvelle) in Paris. During her attendance, along with other West Indians, Condé established theLuis-Carlos Prestesclub.[11]

Career

[edit]

In 1958, Condé attended a rehearsal in Paris ofLes Nègres/The BlacksbyJean Genet,where she met theGuineanactor Mamadou Condé.[11]In August 1958, she married Mamadou Condé.[11]They eventually had three children together before separating in 1969 (Condé already had one child from Haitian journalist Jean Dominique). By November 1959, the couple's relationship had already become strained, and Condé decided to go alone to theIvory Coast,where she taught for a year inBingerville.[11]

During her returns to Guinea for the holidays, she became politically conscious through a group ofMarxistfriends, who would influence her to move toGhana.[11]It was for her a turbulent but formative time that she would later chronicle in her 2012 bookLa Vie sans fards(What Is Africa to Me? Fragments of a True-to-Life Autobiography), as in the recently independent West African countries she rubbed shoulders with the likes ofMalcolm X,Che Guevara,Julius NyerereandMaya Angelou.[12]

Between the years 1960 and 1972, she taught in Guinea, Ghana andSenegal.[6]While in Ghana, she edited a collection of francophone African literature,Anthologie de la literature africaine d'expression française(Ghana Institute of Languages, 1966).[13]However, she became disillusioned with being "witness to many contradictory events", and accusations against her of suspected subversive activity resulted in Condé's deportation from Ghana.[14]

After leaving West Africa, she worked in London as aBBCproducer for two years.[15]Then in 1973, she returned to Paris and taughtFrancophone literatureatParis VII (Jussieu),X (Nanterre),andIll (Sorbonne Nouvelle).[6]In 1975, she completed her M.A. and Ph.D. at the Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris in comparative literature, examining black stereotypes inCaribbean literature.[5][6][16]She was the author of works of criticism that includedLe profil d'une oeuvre(Hatier, 1978),La Civilisation du Bossale(L'Harmattan, 1978), andLa Parole des femmes(L'Harmattan, 1979).[13]

In 1981, she and Condé divorced, having long been separated. The following year, she married Richard Philcox, anEnglishmanand the English-language translator of most of her novels.[17]

She did not publish her first novel,Hérémakhonon,until she was nearly 40, as "[she] didn't have confidence in [herself] and did not dare present [her] writing to the outside world."[18]Her second novel,Une saison à Rihata,was published in 1981; however, Condé would not reach prominence as a contemporary Caribbean writer until the publication of her third novel,Ségou(1984).[6]

Following the success ofSégou,in 1985, Condé was awarded aFulbright scholarshipto the United States to teach "Literature and Culture of the Caribbean" atOccidental College,Los Angeles(September 1985–May 1986).[19]In 1987, she was aRockefeller FoundationBellagio writer-in-residence, and she was also awarded aGuggenheim Foundation Fellowship.[16][20]In 1991, her playThe Hills of Massabiellewas staged in New York at theUbu Repertory Theater.[10][16]She was included in the 1992 anthologyDaughters of Africa,edited byMargaret Busby.[21]In 1995, Condé became a professor of French and Francophone literature atColumbia Universityin New York City,[5]where she was subsequently professor emerita.[22]

Condé taught at various universities, including theUniversity of California, Berkeley;UCLA,theSorbonne,theUniversity of Virginia,and theUniversity of Nanterre.She retired from teaching in 2005.[6]

She is the subject of the 2011 documentary filmMaryse Condé, une voix singulière,directed by Jérôme Sesquin, which retraces her life.[23][24]

In 2011, Collège Maryse-Condé on the island ofLa Désiradewas inaugurated in her honour.[16]

Death

[edit]

Condé died inApt, Vaucluse,southeastern France, on 2 April 2024, at the age of 90.[25][26]

Literary significance

[edit]

Condé's novels explore racial, gender, and cultural issues in a variety of historical eras and locales, including theSalem witch trialsinI, Tituba: Black Witch of Salem(1986); the 19th-centuryBambara EmpireofMaliinSégou(1984–1985); and the 20th-century building of thePanama Canaland its influence on increasing the West Indian middle class inTree of Life(1987). Her novels trace the relationships between African peoples and the diaspora, especially the Caribbean.[5]As Louise Hardwick observes, "Cosmopolitan in nature, Condé’s literature tackles the complexities of a globalised world in an unmistakably frank voice. She rejected attempts to pigeonhole her style, or labels describing her as a French or Creole writer,"[27]and she was often quoted as stating: "I write in Maryse Condé."[28][29]

Her first novel,Hérémakhonon(in theMalinke language,the title means "waiting for happiness" ),[30]was published in 1976.[6]It was so controversial that it was pulled from the shelves after six months because of its criticism over the success ofAfrican socialism.[31]While the story closely parallels Condé's own life during her first stay in Guinea, and is written as a first-person narrative, she stressed that it is not an autobiography.[32]The book is the story, as she described it, of an"'anti-moi', an ambiguous persona whose search for identity and origins is characterized by a rebellious form of sexual libertinage ".[32]

Condé kept considerable distance from most Caribbean literary movements, such asNégritudeandCreolité,and often focused on topics with strong feminist and political concerns. A radical activist in her work as well as in her personal life, Condé admitted: "I could not write anything... unless it has a certain political significance. I have nothing else to offer that remains important."[5]

Her 1995 novelWindward Heightsis a reworking ofEmily Brontë'sWuthering Heights(1847), which Condé had first read at the age of 14. She had long wanted to create a work of her own around it, as an act of "homage". Condé's novel is set in Guadeloupe, and race and culture are featured as issues that divide people.[5]Reflecting on how she drew from her Caribbean background in writing this book, she said:

"To be part of so many worlds—part of the African world because of the African slaves, part of the European world because of the European education—is a kind of double entendre. You can use that in your own way and give sentences another meaning. I was so pleased when I was doing that work, because it was a game, a kind of perverse but joyful game."[5]

Condé's later writings include the autobiographicalTales From the Heart: True Stories From My Childhood(1999), a collection of essays about her childhood,[33]andVictoire(2006), afictional biographyof her maternal grandmother during a period when the black population of Guadeloupe asserted their rights to education and political power.[34]

Who Slashed Celanire's Throat(2000) was inspired by a true story and uses a blend ofmagical realismandfantasyin a novel about a woman who wants to uncover the truth of her past and avenge her childhood mutilation.[35]

The 2017 translation by Richard Philcox of Condé'sWhat Is Africa to Me? Fragments of a True-to-Life Autobiographywas described byNoo Saro-Wiwain a review forThe Times Literary Supplementas "refreshingly frank... an entertaining and occasionally humorous account of the twelve years the author spent in Africa during the late 1950s and 60s.... and by the book's end the author concedes that she still doesn't know what Africa means to her – a brave admission in a world that hankers for defined narrative arcs."[36]

In 2018, Condé was awarded theNew Academy Prize in Literature,established as a one-off alternative to theNobel Prize in Literature(for which she was often considered a favourite but which was not awarded that year, as a consequence of a sexual abuse scandal among the award committee),[37]with the jury praising Condé as a "grand storyteller whose authorship belongs to world literature, describing the ravages of colonialism and the postcolonial chaos in a language which is both precise and overwhelming."[38]

In 2022, she was honoured as one of 12Royal Society of LiteratureInternational Writers, alongsideAnne Carson,Tsitsi Dangarembga,Cornelia Funke,Mary Gaitskill,Faïza Guène,Saidiya Hartman,Kim Hyesoon,Yōko Ogawa,Raja Shehadeh,Juan Gabriel VásquezandSamar Yazbek.[39][40]

Condé's 2023 novel,The Gospel According to the New World,was longlisted for theInternational Booker Prizeand, at the age of 86, she was the oldest writer ever to be longlisted for the prize.[41]The creation of the novel was by means of dictation to her husband and translator Richard Philcox, as she had a degenerative neurological disorder that made it difficult to speak and see.[42]Together, they were the first wife-and-husband author-translator team to be longlisted, and subsequently shortlisted,[43]for the award.[41][44][45]
