Top stories from the original best-selling Haiti Noir (2011) along with all new stories by today's best Haitian authors. This new volume collects the true classics of Haitian literature - both short stories and excerpts from longer works - and will be an integral piece to the understanding of how Haitian culture has evolved over the past 50 years. Editor Edwidge Danticat, one of the most respected Haitian writers working today, has a well-deserved sterling reputation, and here she follows on the success of the original first volume.
