Prophète's Blue has technically great writing peppered with moments of gorgeousness and brilliance; its illustrations of women's fraught lives mired by inequality and sexism are very relatable; and I was delightfully surprised by the mentions of Les Cayes. Unfortunately, the sum of it can't make this reflective read any less obfuscating in story or less winding in its ruminations.
