Lawrence Christopher Patrick (aka Ytzhak) Braithwaite (March 17, 1963 – 14 July 2008〔http://www.legacy.com/can-montreal/Obituaries.asp?Page=Lifestory&PersonId=114489869〕) was a Canadian novelist, spoken word artist, dub poet, essayist, digital drummer and short fiction writer. Born in Montreal, Quebec, he has been called “one of the outstanding Canadian prose writers alive” (Gail Scott) and linked to the "New Narrative" movement,〔Gail Scott, “In the Future, Where Prose is Going”, ''Matrix'' 62: a special issue on New Narrative edited by Gail Scott and Corey Frost.〕 a term coined by Steve Abbott.〔(Aleander Lawrence's ''Free Williamsburg'' interview with Dennis Cooper )〕 He was the author of the legendary cult novel ''Wigger''.〔"Wigger world: angry, black and gay". ''The Gazette'', May 27, 1995.〕 Braithwaite's work has been praised by Dodie Bellamy for its "sublime impenetrability".〔Dodie Bellamy, "Body Language", ''Academonia'' (San Francisco: Krupskaya, 2006): page 82; available online in ''Fascicle'' 2 (Winter 2005-2006) ()〕 and is fueled by a modernist and Fredric Jameson-influenced late modernist approach to writing and recording. His work is influenced by the musical and social realism of punk rock, opera, musique concrète, noise, hip hop, rap, industrial, black metal, country music and dub. Braithwaite utilized the intensity of the New York City No Wave scene and the Los Angeles and Montreal hardcore punk music subcultures to compose his narrative. His family has laid him to rest in Notre-Dames-des-Neiges Cemetery, Montreal, Quebec. Braithwaite was openly gay,〔 although he was a vocal critic of the LGBT community's sometimes inadequate response to issues of racism.〔 ==Bibliography== *''Wigger'' (1995) ISBN 1-55152-020-6 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lawrence Ytzhak Braithwaite」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
