Slave old man

Chamoiseau, Patrick (author.). Glissant, Édouard, 1928-2011 (contributor.). Coverdale, Linda, (translator.).

Summary: "The reader is invited to blaze a trail through this forest of symbols. The last chapter will shed light on the profound meaning of the fable. But the point is less to capture than to be captivated by the energy, the luxuriance, and the playful solemnity of writing that masterfully melds French, Creole, and yet other voices as well."--L'Express.
