Maryse Condé recommends

The Delicate Beast (2025)
Roger Celestin
"From the novel's lush opening, set in the 'Tropical Republic,' to countries and cities well beyond its frontiers, Celestin's voice echoes not only in a world of pain and violence, but also in the beauty and miraculous weapon of literature."
