"An affecting meditation on loss and exile" ANGEL GURRIA-QUINTANA, Financial
Times
Windsor Laferrière left Haiti in fear of his life. He has lived in Montreal
for thirty-three years, and when his father dies in New York, himself an exile
for half a century, Windsor travels there to attend the funeral, and then back
to Haiti to inform his mother of the death.
In Haiti, Windsor is faced with the grim truth of life in his homeland - the
endemic poverty, the thwarted ambitions and broken dreams. But only here can
he become a writer again . . .
The Enigma of the Return lives where fiction, poetry and autobiography meet.
These creative tensions sustain a narrative of astonishing beauty, clarity and
insight.
"Looks set to become one of the great poetic statements of homesickness and
return . . . It should be read by all exiles everywhere" Ian Thomson,
Independent
"A poetic, melancholic tour de force . . . a compelling, intense, stark and
poignant exploration of living life as an outsider . . . The great Haitian
novel" Jo Lateu, New Internationalist
