Marked by exceptionalism, the voices of some of its most important writers have consequently been muted by the geopolitical realities of the nation's fraught history. In Haiti Unbound, Kaiama L. Glover offers a close look at the works of three such writers: the Haitian Spiralists Franketienne, Jean-Claude Fignole, and Rene Philoctete....

Our personal choices for philosophical beach combing are two very significant anniversaries: New Year's Day, when good ideas and resolutions abound, and we're full of optimism for the future. The early mornings of our Birthdays, when we pessimistically wonder how much...

Su novela Ritual de titeres es una contienda entre filosofia e imagen que conduce afortunadamente a la tragedia. E.M. Cioran (Paris, septiembre 26 de 1992).

Agradezco la riqueza inagotable de cada pagina y la excelencia...
