The Festival of the Greasy Pole - Paperback

by René Depestre (Author), Carrol F. Coates (Translator), Carrol F. Coates (Introduction by)

This novel is one of the most important statements about the Duvalier regime in Haiti, written by a Haitian who played a prominent role in the revolutionary movement that brought down the Lescot regime in January 1946. _The Festival of the Greasy Pole_ includes a scathing caricature of Papa Doc Duvalier and the bloodbath that he visited on his own country.
