African-American writers willingly attend European symposiums dealing with their work because scholars here focus on textual aspects American readers frequently leave aside. The essays collected here arose on the occasion of such a symposium sponsored by the Conseil Scientifique de l'Université François-Rabelais de Tours. Other essays were commissioned later in order to make the collection as complete as possible when new books came out. We wish to thank Percival Everett for his enlightening collaboration during the debates, as well as for the long interview he has allowed us to transcribe here.
