A profoundly unsettling story of a plantation slave's desperate
escape into a rainforest beyond human control, with his master and
a ferocious dog on his heels. This flight to freedom takes them on
a journey that will transform them all, as the overwhelming
physical presence of the forest and its dense primeval wilderness
reshapes reality and time itself. In the darkness, the old man
grapples with the spirits of all those who have gone before him;
the knowledge that the past is always with us, and the injustice
that can cry out from beyond the grave. From a Prix Goncourt writer
hailed by Milan Kundera as the 'heir of Joyce and Kafka', The Old
Slave and the Mastiff fearlessly portrays the demonic cruelties of
the slave trade and its human costs - a wise, loving tribute to the
Creole culture of Martinique, and a vividly told journey into the
heart of Caribbean history and human endurance.
