Reviews
“Nicole Simek offers an insightful study of the presence and multiple uses of irony in French Caribbean works that cross generic boundaries … . Simek’s study will be an excellent resource for students and scholars interested in Caribbean cultural productions.” (Véronique Maisier, H-France Review, Vol. 18 (90), April, 2018)
