Edwidge Danticat
Charles Ruas speaks with Haitian-born writer Edwidge Danticat, author of Krik? Krak! and Brother, I'm Dying, about what she calls "the
dilemma of Haiti," captured in her beautifully wrought novel, The Dew Breaker. Here Danticat tells the story of a Haitian immigrant to the U.S. whose daughter discovers his past as a torturer in the Duvalier regime.
