"Haiti's most important writer."?The New York Times
"His work can speak to the most intellectual person in the society as well as the most humble. It's a very generous kind of genius he has, one I can't imagine Haitian literature ever existing without."?Edwidge Danticat
Should he scream? Call for help? His mouth was full of saliva. His tongue heavy?
The breath and spit of his pursuers were burning his head. The awful stench of their breath, a stinging vapor, was scorching his ears, drying his skin. Smell of sulphur. The acid of their bite. Their forked claws were already lacerating his back.
If only I had the time to make it to St. Joseph's Gate where I might find some people. Some help. O agile foot of my rebellious youth! Haven't I always given you the choice morsel of whatever I've eaten? Haven't I given you the longest sip of whatever I've drunk? Run faster nimble foot of the songs of yesteryear! If ill should come to me, I will blame you? My mother will suffer? If I die? And what about my Solange, my sweetheart? Will I never see her again?
A portrait of "the extreme bitterness of doom in the face of the blind machinery of power." In vivid, fluid prose, Ripe to Burst follows the lives of two young men and their individual attempts to make sense of the deeply troubled society surrounding them. A biting critique of the "brain drain" prompted by the Francois Duvalier dictatorship, Franketienne mirrors the spirit and failings of the 1960s generation.
Widely recognized as Haiti's most important literary figure, Franketienne has written more than thirty plays, poetry collections, and works of fiction, including Dezafi, the first modern novel written entirely in Haitian Creole.
