Overview

Ready To Burst follows the lives of two young men and their individual attempts to make sense of the deeply troubled society surrounding them. An informed critique of the brain drain' prompted by the Duvalier dictatorship, Ready To Burst is, in Franketienne's words, a portrait of 'the extreme bitterness of doom in the face of the blind machinery of power.' Widely recognised as Haiti's most important literary figure, Franketienne was a candidate for the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2009.'
