"The Stone that the Builder Refused "is the final volume of Madison Smartt Bell's masterful trilogy about the Haitian Revolution-the first successful slave revolution inhistory-which begins with "All Souls' Rising "(a finalist for the National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award) and continues with "Master of the Crossroads." Each ofthese three novels can be read independently of the two others; of the trilogy, "The Baltimore Sun" has said, " It] will make an indelible mark on literary history-one worthy ofoccupying the same shelf as Tolstoy's "War and Peace.""
