What I find brilliant in this novel is the manner in which it is narrated to us. It certainly isn't the only work of art that tells its story through a non linear path, but it is one of the successful ones. Similar to the movie "Pulp Fiction" it tells us a story through a variety of characters and locations, but sticks with one theme. The main subject of this book is Totalitarianism, also known as a form of government where power is very unbalanced and usually unfair regimes reinforced by leaders and their workers. In this case, the leaders are known as "The Duvaliers" and the workers are the dew breakers. They're known as torturers who break into their victim's houses early in the morning. The way it was written was surely the correct way of telling the story.
