23777: (ask) Watts: Water in Haitian lit (fwd)

[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

From: Richard Watts <rwatts1@tulane.edu>

I'm trying to track down references to *fresh* water in Haitian
literature, whether water is central to the narrative in question
(e.g., "la source" in Roumain's Gouverneurs de la rosee, the Massacre
River in Danticat's The Farming of Bones) or not. Any literary or
filmic representations of Mackandal's poisoning of wells you can
think of would be most useful to me. Thanks.
