Scott reviewed Monsieur Toussaint by Édouard Glissant
Review of 'Monsieur Toussaint' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
A play chartering the life of Toussaint Louverture from slave to general to governor to French prisoner. Tries to link the course of his life and his failures as a revolutionary leader as in the end necessary for the success of the Haitian revolution. Not that well written, relying on in-your-face proclamations instead of nuance. Also requires background knowledge of the revolution in order to make much sense.
