In "Sweat, Sugar, and Blood," a woman held captive by her husband in their home must choose between safe ignorance and dangerous knowledge. Other stories, such as "Chlorophyllian Creation" and "Written in Lime Juice," convey the intimacy and directness of autobiographical essays. Each of Dracius's heroines achieves a transcendental experience through her own imagination and will, whether she is escaping natural catastrophe such as the eruption of Mount Pel e , enduring jail time under interrogation by the national police, or coping with the ennui of life in a bourgeois home.
Although the results of these historical, natural, or existential circumstances are unpredictable, what unites these women is deliverance. Caribbean and African Literature Translated from the French show more.
