A review by kenzieab
The Gospel According to the New World by Maryse Condé

3.0

While a little meandering and lacking the punch I had hoped from it, this parody of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is just as captivating and contemplative as the as the source material. Explores the African diaspora in the Caribbean with wit and humor. Considers what it means to be a symbol and also a person. Storytelling is well and alive in the 21st century!  

It is also translated from the original French by Condé's husband, which is a wee fact I found so intimate and lovely.
