Question
In a play by this author, Épithalos says “I fragment the hypotenuse that redoubles the World” to justify killing his father Polyxos. This author’s two surviving plays, Parallel Hands and The Drowning Eye, were rediscovered in 2016. This author praised Abdoulaye Sadji’s novel Nini and excoriated a novel by Mayotte Capécia for their respective portrayals of interracial desire. A later author claimed that without reading this author’s chapter “The Pitfalls of (*) National Consciousness,” “it is impossible to understand what informs African writing.” Jean-Paul Sartre coined the phrase “nervous condition” in the introduction to a book by this author that inspired Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s Decolonizing the Mind and begins with the section “On Violence.” For 10 points, name this Martinican author of The Wretched of the Earth. ■END■
