THE CARIBBEAN NIGHT

Georges and Frantz, two brothers, of blood and misery, are the former henchmen of the Party. They were all the bad blows that allowed a few politicians, like President Valatte, to rise to power. Frantz, as a reward, accepts a half-board. Georges refuses his share of crumbs, he has pride. Then he will cross the line and make the blood speak.

THE BOSS

Late at night. Outside, rain and wind, prelude to the great escapades of the storm expected for the early morning. Inside, in the bar now empty: the boss and the bouncer. Both are spying. Seek out. Get lost. Are found. In the experience of a word which, at the first point of the day, brings them to their inmost part, their share of faults and silence to be unraveled, so that love, once again, becomes possible.

Alfred Alexandre was born in 1970 in Martinique where he lives and writes. Novelist, playwright, essayist, He is one of the new voices of Francophone literature of the Americas.
