Conversation of Hope: Stories for Haiti
A UUSC Get-Together with Edwidge Danticat
Date: Sun, March 13, 2011 Time: 03:00 PM EST Duration: 1 hour Presenter(s): UUSC Campaigns Manager Nichole Cirillo, UUSC Program Manager Martha Thompson, author Edwidge Danticat Audience: Public
Since her debut publication of Breath, Eyes, Memory in 1994, Danticat has won praise as one of America's brightest, most graceful, and vibrant young writers. In that novel, and in the National Book Award–nominated Krik? Krak!, she evokes the powerful imagination and rich narrative tradition of her native Haiti — and in the process records the suffering, triumphs, and wisdom of its people. Author Paule Marshall has said of Danticat, "A silenced Haiti has once again found its literary voice" (from BookBrowse.com).
We were privileged to host a national call with Edwidge Danticat, Haitian author and MacArthur Genius Grant recipient. Danticat dicussed her collection of stories Krik? Krak! and took questions from UUs across the country.
