SynopsisThe latest novel by one of Haiti's most brilliant writers The most recent book by renowned Haitian novelist, essayist, and poet RenE Depestre, Popa Singer is a semi-autobiographical 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, Diana Fontoriol (aka "Popa Singer")-an indomitable mother armed only with her sewing machine and her personal convictions-determines to resist in her own way the infamous Ubu King of the Tropics: FranCois "Papa Doc" Duvalier.
