Review

Praise for Ayiti

"Gay . . . rests her stories between worlds, where the unrefined meet the formal, where the beauty of poetic language is never fully swept away from the dirt and grit of honest and genuine moments . . . A debut that feels more like a veteran."-- Monkeybicycle

" [Haiti's] better scribes, among them Edwidge Danticat, Frankétienne, Madison Smartt Bell, Lyonel Trouillot, and Marie Vieux Chauvet, have produced some of the best literature in the world. Add to their ranks Roxane Gay, a bright and shining star."--Kyle Minor, author of In the Devil's Territory

"Gay's characters demand respect, for themselves and for Haiti."-- Necessary Fiction
