In the wake of Émile Ollivier ( Mille eaux , 1999), the collection "Haute Enfance" here gives voice to some contemporary voices of Haitian literature - new or confirmed, rebellious or appeased, never resigned. Whether they go back to the sources of their history or their imagination, these ten Caribbean writers tell us about the strength of siblings, a youth in search of a possible future, the loss of love for a mother, the absence of a father, love, the sea, death... Isn't everything written from childhood?
