Memoir of an Amnesiac
by Jan J Dominique
Jan J Dominique’s Memoir of an Amnesiac is one of the Haitian novels I read as a teenager in the United States. I found it in the Brooklyn Public Library one Saturday and it simply blew my mind. It’s a fascinating stream-of-consciousness novel about a woman writer. It’s about her relationship to power and her relationship with her father and her eventual exile in Canada.
