Autorenporträt
JEAN METELLUS (1937-2014) was the author of several novels, books of poetry, and plays, all written in French and largely untranslated. In 1959, to escape the Duvalier dictatorship, Métellus moved from his native Haiti to Paris, where he studied linguistics and medicine, specializing in neurology. The magazine Les lettres nouvelles published his poem "Au pipirite chantant" in 1973, beginning his career as a poet and writer. HAUN SAUSSY is a professor at the University of Chicago, where he teaches in the departments of comparative literature, East Asian languages and literatures, and social thought. A former president of the American Comparative Literature Association, he is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He has published numerous works on literary theory, intercultural comparison, translation, and poetics.
