I recently had the opportunity to interview scholar Alex Gil about about his unearthing and subsequent translation of Aimé Césaire’s 1943 “lost” play, ...And the Dogs Were Silent (hint: this is a completely different version from the one Césaire published under the same title in 1956).

Our interview was just published over at Public Books under the title, “‘Courage or Foolhardiness’: Talking Aimé Césaire with Alex Gil”:  https://www.publicbooks.org/courage-or-foolhardiness-talking-aime-cesaire-with-alex-gil/
