“A wide-ranging collection from the beloved but besieged Caribbean
island,” from a lineup of authors including two National Book Award
finalists (Kirkus Reviews). “The Haitian-born Danticat has
brought her country’s literature back into the world of
English-speakers. Filled with delights and surprises, Haiti Noir,
taken as a whole, provides a profound portrait of the country, from
its crises to its triumphs, from the tiny bouks of the countryside to
the shanties of the sprawling bidonvilles. Danticat herself has a
lovely story in the collection, and permits two distinguished foreign
writers on Haiti, Madison Smartt Bell and Mark Kurlansky, to slide in
there among all the brilliant Haitians.” —Daily Beast Brand-new
stories by Edwidge Danticat, Rodney Saint-Éloi, Madison Smartt Bell,
Gary Victor, M.J. Fievre, Mark Kurlansky, Marvin Victor,
Josaphat-Robert Large, Marie Lily Cerat, Yanick Lahens, Louis-Philippe
Dalembert, Kettly Mars, Marie Ketsia Theodore-Pharel, Evelyne
Trouillot, Katia D. Ulysse, Ibi Aanu Zoboi, Nadine Pinede, and Patrick
Sylvain. “This anthology will give American readers a complex and
nuanced portrait of the real Haiti not seen on the evening news and
introduce them to some original and wonderful writers.” —Library
Journal “A collection possessing classic noir elements—crimes
and criminals and evil deeds only sometimes punished—but also
something else, perhaps uniquely Haitian too.” —Los Angeles Times
