"I can't imagine there's a better book about Haiti
—
a smarter, more thoughtful, tough-minded,
romantic, plainspoken, intimate, well-reported
book. Amy Wilentz has paid exceptionally close
attention to this dreamy, nightmarish place for a
quarter century, and with Farewell, Fred Voodoo
she turns all that careful watching and thinking
into a riveting work of nonfiction literature."
—KURT ANDERSEN,
author of Heyday and True Believers
The Rainy Season, Amy Wilemz's award-winning
1989
portrait of Haiti after the fall of
Jean-Claude Duva¬
lier,
was praised in the New York Times Book Review
as "a remarkable account of a journalist's transforma¬
tion 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 extraor¬
dinary people living in rhis stark place.
Wilentz traces the country's history from its slave
plantations through its turbulent revolutionary his¬
tory, 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.
Haiti emerged from the dust of the
2010
earth¬
quake like a powerful spirit, and this stunning book
describes the country's day-to-day struggle and its
relationship to outsiders who come to help out. There
are human-rights reporters gone awry, movie stars
turned aid workers, priests and musicians running
for president, doctors turned diplomats. A former
(continued on back flap)
(continued from front flap)
U.S. president works as a house builder and voodoo
priests try to control elections.
A foreign correspondent on a simple story becomes,
over time and in the pages of this book, a lover of
Haiti, pursuing the essence of this beautiful and
confounding land into its darkest and brightest
corners. Farewell, Fred Voodoo is a spiritual journey
into the heart of the human soul, and Haiti has found
in Amy Wilentz an author of astonishing wit, sym¬
pathy, and eloquence.
AMY WILENTZ is the author of The Rainy
Season, Martyrs'Crossing, and I Feel Earthquakes More
Often Than They Happen. She has won the Whiting
Writers' Award, the PEN/Martha Albrand Nonfiction
Award, and the American Academy of Arts and
Letters
Rosenthal
Award; in
1990,
she was nominated
for the National Book Critics Circle Award. Wilentz
writes for The New Yorker, The Nation, and many
other publications. She teaches in the Literary
Journalism program at
U.C.
Irvine.
