FrankZtienne and Rewriting offers an overview the defining aesthetic and thematic components of FrankZtienne's major works, particularly on the relation between his central aesthetic of the Spiral and the practice of rewriting that is prevalent in Caribbean literature. Situating this practice within the framework of postcolonial studies, Douglas argues that literary characteristics in FrankZtienne connect with changing political, social, economic, and cultural circumstances in Haiti as he rewrites.
