Description
A powerful and poignant trilogy about life under a violent dictatorship. Love, Anger, Madness is a stunning work of fiction that explores the soul-crushing cost of living in Haiti during "Papa Doc" Duvalier's repressive rule. The novellas that make up this collection are set against the backdrop of a barely fictionalized Haiti, where the lines between reality and fantasy blur. Through the eyes of Claire, Rose, and René, we experience the complexities of family dynamics, the struggle for survival, and the devastating consequences of living under oppression. This is a story of love, anger, and madness, and one that will leave a lasting impression on readers. Originally published in 1968, Love, Anger, Madness was forced into obscurity until its republication in France in 2005. Today, it remains a powerful and enduring work of literature, translated into English for the first time.
