The story of Toussaint Louverture and the tragic nation of Haiti
that he founded has never been told with such power and imagination
as respected historian and master story teller James Baker does in
his novel "Sex and Bondage in Three Colors." In this revolutionary
book he has created a new literary genre, one critics have called
"historical fantasy." History limits itself to known facts.
Historical fiction limits itself to creating scenes and dialogue
only in places where facts are not known and only if the created
scenes and dialogue do not violate known facts. Baker's historical
fantasy tells a story of historical figures without limits, setting
his fantasy free to soar. This novel ranges over the interconnected
lives of such men as Toussaint, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Thomas
Jefferson and demonstrates how their distinct and often conflicting
visions of the future collide. He describes in delicious detail the
sexual exploits, many of them with disastrous results, of white,
black, and brown men who break free of their bonds only to be
shackled by their desires. There is rape, incest, miscegenation,
and unbridled lust as a host of men and women conceive and give
birth to our cruel modern world.
