SUMMARY:Amy Wilentz reads from Farewell\, Fred Voodoo: A Letter from Haiti
DESCRIPTION:The Rainy Season\, Amy Wilentz’s award-winning 1989 portrait of Haiti after the fall of Jean-Claude Duvalier\, was praised in the New York Times Book Review as “a remarkable account of a journalist’s transformation by her subject.” In her relationship with the country since then\, Wilentz has witnessed more than one magical transformation. Now\, with Farewell\, Fred Voodoo\, she gives us a vivid portrayal of the extraordinary people living in this stark place. \nWilentz traces the country’s history from its slave plantations through its turbulent revolutionary history\, its kick-up-the-dirt guerrilla movements\, its totalitarian dynasty that ruled for decades\, and its long and always troubled relationship with the United States. Yet through a history of hardship shines Haiti’s creative culture—its African traditions\, its French inheritance\, and its uncanny resilience\, a strength that is often confused with resignation. \nAmy Wilentz is the author of The Rainy Season: Haiti Since Duvalier\, of Martyrs’ Crossing\, (a novel) and of I Feel Earthquakes More Often Than They Happen: Coming to California in the Age of Schwarzenegger. She has won the Whiting Writers Award\, the PEN Martha Albrand Non-Fiction Award\, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters Rosenthal Award; in 1990\, she was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award. She writes for The New Yorker and The Nation and teaches in the Literary Journalism program at U.C. Irvine.
