Devastating and sublime

(Haiti)

Here's a new favourite writer: stories that are emotionally bleak, but not without hope. Danticat (amazing name btw) writes with this very lucid precision that allows the stories to unfold as though you are watching them. She has a light, yet immersive touch. Similar in terms of theme, of loss, of things that lie heavy on each generation, attempts to connect that fail (and succeed). A writer I'll be keeping an eye out for in the future for sure.

A complicated paean to the author’s Haitian heritage full of love and grief.

For me, “The Port-au-Prince Marriage Special” is the standout story.
