![]() ![]() There are many fantastic novels written about Haiti by non-Haitians, such as Allende’s Island Beneath the Sea and Greene’s The Comedians. I asked a range of experts for their recommendations and selected some of the most powerful and important works by Haitian authors. Reading the works of Haitian authors opens a window into this Caribbean nation’s vibrant culture and tumultuous history. Haitian literature reveals a more complete story of a nation, one that focuses on the beauty and resiliency of the island’s landscape and citizens. The struggles that Haiti has faced do not overshadow its rich culture and history or the vibrant spirit of its people. Often painted in mainstream media as a country plagued by difficulties, Haitian entrepreneurs, artists and innovators are rewriting that narrative. Haiti is the birthplace of a rich literary heritage that deserves more attention. ![]()
