His passion for theatre developed during the years that he was studying medicine, and in 1949 he wrote the plays \u003ci\u003eThe Drowning Eye\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eL'OEil se noie\u003c\/i\u003e), and \u003ci\u003eParallel Hands\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eLes Mains parallèles\u003c\/i\u003e). This first English translation of the works gives us a Fanon at his most lyrical, experimental and provocative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrantz Fanon \u003c\/b\u003e(1925-1961) was a Martinique-born psychiatrist, philosopher, revolutionary, and writer.
