The Kingdom of This World by Alejo Carpentier

3.0

This was a gift & a fascinating glimpse of Haiti post revolution. Brutal, complicated, pithy. Lots of race, class, gender & vodou issues. It was hard to connect to the characters so it was a bit of a chore so I read it too fast which made it hard to connect...I’ll have to reread it and teach it as part of a Caribbean class.
