Guadeloupean writer Maryse Condé dies at 90. The author of 'I, Tituba, the black witch of Salem' and 'Ségou', awarded the alternative Nobel in 2018.
Condé died on the night of Monday to Tuesday in a hospital in Apt, near her home in the south of France. In an interview three years ago in her farmhouse in Provence she confessed to having reached a kind of Zen state, a form of plenitude.
