About the Book

Rien n'est interdit à l'écrivain, hormis d'avoir le coeur desséché, l'esprit commun, le ton compassé. Je ne sais pas encore si Rai Chaze est un écrivain, mais je sais qu'ici, dans son premier texte où elle nous livre Tahiti dans tous ses états, tel qu'elle l'a rêvé et vécu, tel qu'elle l'aime avec passion, il n'y a ni sécheresse ni convention. Il me semble que, d'instinct, Rai Chaze sait que l'on ne fait pas de bons livres avec de bons sentiments, que l'on doit écrire avec sa souffrance et ses blessures intimes. Ainsi, dans ce bref récit où elle se dévoile, elle apparaît écartelée entre les deux mondes auxquels elle appartient: d'un côté, un Tahiti légendaire dont elle rêve, tout de force et de pureté; de l'autre, un Occident qui a détruit tant de civilisations et qui, aujourd'hui, par sa technique formidable, rend les sociétés homogènes et sans saveur. Et c'est sans doute pourquoi Rai Chaze, refusant de se perdre en devenant étrangère à elle-même, à ce qu'elle croit porter en elle de plus authentique, a décidé d'écrire. Et elle écrit la fragilité du temps qui passe, elle écrit la tendresse et la pitié, la révolte et l'espoir, tout en se demandant comment survivre sans lieu mythique où la vie serait plus belle. Jean-Marie DALLET Tahiti 1990
About the Author: Rai CHAZE est née à Tahiti. Ses parents sont tous deux métis polynésiens. Après plusieurs années de sa jeunesse passées aux USA, elle revient à Tahiti. Les liens qu'elle a développés au cours du temps avec Henri HIRO, (poète, dramaturge, cinéaste, écologiste, activiste anti-nucléaire, leader de la renaissance culturelle), homme-clé de l'Histoire de la Polynésie, se resserrent. Elle publie deux recueils de poésie, Toriri et I Te Rai ra, plusieurs nouvelles et poèmes à Tahiti et à Hawaii. En 1990, elle publie son premier livre "Vai, la rivière au ciel sans nuage", qui est également le premier ouvrage de prose littéraire de la littérature autochtone contemporaine. En Octobre 2009, son premier ouvrage destiné aux enfants, Contes Tahitiens, est publié par la maison d'édition de jeunesse de Montréal, Les Éditions Cornac. Hormis les nombreuses parutions en ouvrages collectifs ou de revues littéraires, elle publia Avant la saison des pluies, ce roman fait participer le lecteur à la vie des îles, au gré des rencontres et des souvenirs, tout au long des dernières années et l'entraîne, dans une saga, à travers l'histoire de Tahiti. Il a neigé aux Tuamotu est un conte pour enfant qui donna lieu à une représentation théâtrale. Elle poursuit son travail en littérature jeunesse avec la parution d'une série depuis 2012 de petits livres Les contes imaginaires de Tahiti mettant en scène de petites leçons de vie à partir d'éléments d'inspiration culturels polynésien
