Caribbean Literature

Pluie et vent sur Télumée Miracle by Simone Schwarz-Bart is another one of the books on my list, under the Caribbean Literature category. I am currently preparing a presentation about it for Thursday's class session and really enjoying the book. The best part is that this book is on my list!

The rest of the Carribean Litterature category is as follows. Since I'm taking a Caribbean Lit class this semester, I've already read some of them, and some of the other ones that I've not yet read will be read before the end of the semester as a part of the class.

  1. Camara Laye, L'enfant noir
  2. Cheikh Hamidou Kane, L'aventure ambiguë
  3. Aminata Sow Fall, La grève des Battú
  4. Simone SchwarzBart, Pluie et vent sur Télumée Miracle
  5. Ahmadou Kourouma, Les soleils des Indépendances
  6. Aimé Césaire, Cahier d'un retour au pays natal
  7. Léopold Sédar Senghor, Poèmes, Seuil: Points (Selections) "Nuits de Sine,"
  8. "Femme noire," "Le Message," "Prière aux masques," "Assassinats"
  9. Léon Damas, Pigments (Selections from Kesteloot's Anthologie): "La Complainte du nègre," "Pareille à ma légende," "Trêve," "Savoir vivre," "Bientôt," "En file indienne," "Ils sont venus ce soir," "Solde"
Not bad, eh? I'll only have to read four more books from this category by myself, and with the background from this class, it shouldn't be too difficult!
