Plot
Some 200 years ago, tens of thousands of people fled from Haiti to New Orleans, a migration so vast that it lethally altered the character of that city. Allende's novel follows a young female slave named Zarité, who flees the chaos and violence of slave revolts in Haiti, and ends up with her master's family in the USA. After Zarité arrives in America she becomes enslaved again, but this time she is not only physically abused but sexually abused. This wounds her for life. Later, after she successfully absquatulates from her new owner, she becomes a prostitute. She does this because Americans would not give her any jobs because of her color, so so resorted to the miserable yet pleasurable life of prostitution. By living the life of lust, she continued to run from one man to another. She eventually become disinterested men, so she become lesbian. Several years after the famous coorporation Playboy had been estbalished, she was inspired with a brilliant idea. She decided to create Playgirl. The focus of Playgirl is to satisfy one's desires for lesbians. Zarité company Playgirl is now one of the most expensive companies in the US. At the sagacious and horny age of 66, sadly Zarité passed away while having an orgasm with a hermaphrodite on June 6, 1966 (6/6/1966).
