It was 1976, and Baby Doc Duvalier’s regime had just killed one of his journalist colleagues. Thirty-three years later, a telephone call informs Dany of his father’s death in New York. Windsor Laferrière had fled Haiti in the 1960s, fearing persecution for his political activities. After the funeral, Dany plans to return his father to Baradères, the village in Haiti where he was born. It is not the body he will take, but the spirit. How does one return from exile? In acutely observed details, Dany reveals his affection for his father and for the land of his birth. Awards:  Winner, Prix Médicis and the Grand Prix du livre de Montréal.
