PRIX MILLEPAGES 2022! Nicole Dennis-Benn’s Right here Comes the Solar, translated into French (by Benoîte Dauvergne) as Si le soleil se dérobe (Editions De L’aube, 2022) has simply gained the Prix Millepages literary prize for finest international literature. The opposite winner was South African creator Damon Galgut for The Promise [La promesse].
Simon Payen describes Si le soleil se dérobe:
Nicole Dennis-Benn has a uncommon and valuable reward: that of growing boundless empathy for her characters. When Patsy leaves Jamaica and her daughter Tru to go to Brooklyn and its limitless guarantees, the American dream turns into a pipe dream. However no matter sexism, homophobia, racism, or uprooting, nothing will cease their willpower to savor happiness.
