some of the stories are merely 2 pgs long, yet the msg and setting bounce off the pg, then end w/ a banger. others - like my favs "sweet on the tongue" and "in the manner of water or light" - are longer, fully fleshed out, and emotionally stirring.
reading this conjures familiar landscapes and forgotten little details, while also offering a revelatory look into haiti and its ppl, adding another voice to this oft-silenced and -sensationalized group.
