Joan Ganhaire - Entre rire et désespoir, un regard sur l’humaine condition - Fabienne GARNERIN
(between laugh and despair, an occitan point of view about human condition)
The work of Joan Ganhaire (in French Jean Ganiayre) is of exceptional richness.
This contemporary author, who made the Limousin Occitan his only language of writing, addressed various literary genres : fantastic short stories, «nhòrlas» [funny short stories], cape and sword novels, detective novels, not to mention a form of poetry in prose that outcrops in many texts. Under its apparent diversity, this work is very consistent because of its themes, its images, and its recurring « biais de dire » [ways of saying]. It can be read at multiple levels and opens up very different possibilities of interpretation depending on the point of view adopted, interpretations that cross and enrich each other. Haunted by the questions of death, of the omnipresent violence and of the world’s absurdity, both as a man and by his profession as a doctor, Ganhaire, like many authors of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, opposes them laught and derision like an ultimate snub. His work is a tribute to the imaginative limousin world, in close relationship with nature, which he felt imbued from childhood. It proposes a contemporary expression of it, irrigated and hybridized by the imaginative worlds of great figures of world literature, but also by other arts such as cinema.
