#2035: Haitian authors : Coates comments

No, Ralph...I don't know to what novel or author the query refers, but it
is certainly not Alexis's L'ESPACE D'UN CILLEMENT (In the Flicker of an
Eyelid--which I envision translating soon)--the mechanic protagonist (whose
name escapes me this moment) is a Cuban working in Port-au-Prince--he falls
in love with a prostitute (also of Cuban origin) but there is no prisoner,
no prison visits in this novel.
