Title: an attempt to be "artsy" fails. . .
Product review: As much as I love Francophone culture, especially Haitian literatue and history, I don't think I could have finished this book if I hadn't been assigned to write a paper on it. Granted, the translation may have been faulty- someday, I plan to read the original. But it seems to be that Clitandre was trying hard (too hard!) to write an "artistic novel". The timeline is also very confusing. I hate to admit, I had to read this book five or six times before I even started to understand what was going on. And, as a full time student who works 20 hours a week, I don't have that kind of time!
