I enjoyed a Tempest a lot. I would have liked to read it side by side with the original. I have never read anything else by Cèsaire, so far, so this was a treat. I enjoyed the critiques I could find throughout the play. I think it would be fruitful to go back and read an annotated version of it, to see things I perhaps missed.
