Amour, colere, et folie (Love, Anger and Madness), Chauvefs most famous novel, was published in Paris in 1968 and earned her the wrath of Haitian dictator Francois Duvalier. Authors as diverse as Francois Duvalier and Jacques Roumain, and virtually all of Haiti's women, writers, as well as Dayan herself, present voodoo as a way of rationalizing, and maybe as a way out of, life's daily miseries. The name recurs on a regular basis from the first year of Haitian independence--1804--all the way to 1957, when Francois Duvalier came to power, At that time, my grandfather retired, at the age of eighty, from the diplomatic service. |
