Haitian & Haitian Diaspora Authors For Your Reading List
Even as a writer, I can sense the yearning to know more behind my words, know more about what helps shape me as a person. I know there is so much more I can learn. So last year I ventured on a quest to read more books by Haitian authors. This is a short list of authors that I’ve read extensively and a few I have not. I hope you enjoy and please share any more!
