Summary/Abstract: Ananda Devi is a francophone-Mauritian writer who lives (and creates) near Geneva. She is the author of numerous novels, short stories and volumes of poetry. Although the stories of her characters are fictitious, Devi’s texts are strongly inspired by her native island, its history and its ethnic, cultural and linguistic heterogeneity. In her novels, Devi employs numerous stylistic devices to empower individuals who are regarded as worse, excluded from the society due to their deficits.
