He was announced dead on the 16th of July 2024. André Pétricien affectionately known to many as Tony Delsham from Martinique was 78 years old at the time of his passing.
while his cause of death is yet to be confirmed, local media speculates that he was involved in a tragic accident. However, this report has not been confirmed. Thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.
In addition to being a French author, novelist, and journalist, André Pétricien was also known by his pen name, Tony Delsham. He was originally from Martinique.
Antilla was under Pétricien’s editorial direction from the year 1990 until the year 2024, when he passed away. AIDS and drug abuse are two of the topics that are addressed in a number of his novels.
He was a member of the French Armed Forces during the Second World War and was born in Fort-de-France on February 4, 1946. Delsham’s father served in the military.
Delsham completed his education in Schoelcher, despite the fact that his family was originally from Grand Rivière. Beginning at the age of sixteen, Delsham began working as a concert organizer, during which time he was responsible for presenting a variety of rock and roll performances.
Following the completion of his undergraduate studies in 1965, Delsham would go on to serve in the 40th Artillery Regiment, which was stationed at Châlons-sur-Marne (which would subsequently be renamed Châlons-en-Champagne!).
His return to Martinique in 1970 brought him to the realization that the “alienation of Creole thought” was a phenomenon that he attributed, among other things, to French Radio and Television as well as the daily newspaper France-Antilles.
The following year, in 1999, he established the publishing company Éditions MGG, which would subsequently be renamed Martinique Editions, with the intention of publishing other novels within the region. Delsham’s renowned literature has garnered appreciation from critics for the positive and realistic portrayals of women that he includes in his works.
