Conte Cajun par Zachary RichardNouveau conte


L'Histoire de Télésphore et de 'Tit Edvard dans le grand Nord

Now available in our boutique.

Inspired by my return to Québec after 15 years of absence, this story was written one long winter night in 1998. It is the story of two Louisiana characters, a blind turtle and a one-eyed crawfish, who are projected into space by accident and who wind up in Saint-Boniface-des-Agréments (Saint Boniface of the Agreeables), Québec. The friends they meet and how they ultimately get home is the subject of the tale. On the way, the little Crawfish, Edvard, discovers his own roots in meeting the lobsters of Homardie. According to Cajun folk-lore, the crawfish of Louisiana were originally lobsters in Nova Scotia who followed the Acadians into exile. The rigors of the journey took such a toll that they all shrank from a few pounds to a few ounces. Edvard’s discovery of his identity mirrors my own. In 1975, the young Louisiana singer that I was, ran full into his roots at a place called la Butte à Napoléon (Napoléon’s hill) in Cap-Pelé (Bald Cape) New-Brunswick.
