A novel by Rene Depestre

The latest novel by one of Haiti¡¯s most brilliant writers

The most recent book by the renowned Haitian novelist, essayist, and poet Ren¨¦ Depestre, Popa Singer is a semiautobiographical chronicle of Haiti in the late 1950s, the very moment when the country first came under decades of despotic rule.

To celebrate her son¡¯s return home after years of exile, Dianira Fontoriol (aka ¡°Popa Singer¡±)??an indomitable mother armed only with her sewing machine and her personal convictions¡ªdetermines to resist in her own way the infamous Ubu King of the Tropics: Fran?ois ¡°Papa Doc¡± Duvalier. Depestre¡¯s novel tells the story of this at once intimate and epic struggle. Combining colorful fantasy and biting social satire, it is a deeply personal and singularly artistic take on an infamous chapter in Haitian history.
