Lyonel Trouillot's harrowing novel depicts a night of blazing violence in modern-day Port-au-Prince and recalls hundreds of years of violence stretching back even before the birth of Haiti in the fires of revolution.

With impressive originality and touching immediacy, Trouillot explores the nature of political oppression, memory, and truth
