"Rewriting" in the context of critical work on Caribbean literature
has tended to be used to discuss revisionism from a variety of
postcolonial perspectives, such as "rewriting history" or
"rewriting canonical texts." By shifting the focus to how Caribbean
writers return to their own works in order to rework them, this
book offers theoretical considerations to postcolonial studies on
"literariness" in relation to the near-obsessive degree of
rewriting to which Caribbean writers have subjected their own
literary texts. Focusing specifically on Franketienne, this book
offers an overview of how the defining aesthetic and thematic
components of Franketienne's major works have emerged over the
course of his forty-year writing career. It reveals the marked
development of key notions guiding his literary creation since the
1960s, and demonstrates that rewriting illustrates the central
aesthetic of the Spiral which has always shaped his oeuvre. It is,
the book argues, the constantly moving form of the Spiral which
Franketienne explores through his constant reworking of his
previously written texts. Franketienne and Rewriting negotiates
between the literary and material ends of the burgeoning field of
postcolonial studies, arguing that literary characteristics in
Franketienne connect with changing political, social, economic, and
cultural circumstances in the Haiti he rewrites.
