Abstract

This article analyzes the novel Pays sans chapeau by the Haitian writer, resident in Quebec, Dany Laferrière. It aims at showing how the return of the author-narrator to his native country (Haiti), after a long experience in exile, where he rediscovers the real country (public and private) and the dreamed and mythological country, contributes to the elaboration of an auto-fiction which translates, both in form and content, the experience of the in-between.
