Notes:  "Originally published by Éditions Jean-Claude Lattès, 2012" -- Title page verso. Translation of: La vie sans fards. Translated from the French. Summary:  "Maryse Condé is one of the best-known and most beloved French Caribbean literary voices. The author of more than twenty novels, she was shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize in 2015 and has long been recognized as a giant of black feminist literature. While Condé has previously published an autobiography of her childhood in Tales From the Heart: True Stories From My Childhood, now she describes her early adult years in Africa - years formative not only for her, but also for African colonies appealing for their own independence. It traces the late 1950s to 1968, chronicling Condé's life in Sékou Touré's Guinea to her time in Kwame N’Krumah's Ghana, where she rubbed shoulders with Malcolm X, Che Guevara, Julius Nyerere, and Maya Angelou. Accusations of subversive activity resulted in Condé's deportation from Ghana. Settling down in Sénégal, Condé ended her African years with close friends in Dakar, including filmmakers, activists, and Haitian exiles, before putting down more permanent roots in Paris. Condé's story is more than one of political upheaval, however; it is also the story of a mother raising four children as she battles steep obstacles, of a Guadeloupean seeking her identity in Africa, and of a young woman searching for her freedom and vocation as a writer."--Provided by publisher. "Born in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe, Maryse Condé is a French author of historical fiction, best known for her novel Segu (1984). She is a scholar of Francophone literature and Professor Emerita of French at Columbia University. Condé's novels explore racial, gender and cultural issues in a variety of historical eras and locales, including the Salem witch trials in I, Tituba: Black Witch of Salem (1986). Her late writings have become increasingly autobiographical, such as Memories of My Childhood (1998) and Victoire (2010), a biography of her maternal grandmother"--From wikipedia.org website.
