unusual facts about Jacques Roumain


Joseph Zobel

While La Rue Cases-Nègres is Zobel's most renowned work, the author started his writing career in 1942 during World War Two with Diab-la (a tentative English title could be "The Devil's Garden"), a socially conscious novel similar to Jacques Roumain's Masters of the Dew (published a year or more later).
