Glissant's dizzying essay explores and brings into being his idea of a new region of the world, where time is totalized and space relativized, and all things imagined at once. Hugely ambitious, relentlessly poetic, Glissant guides you into this work, this world, which he says has been little travelled, but will have to be crossed together, as one, and transcends and designates the world as it has been known.
