    Mondbad

    Eine haitianische Saga vom Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts bis in die Gegenwart. In nüchterner und zugleich poetischer Sprache erzählt Yanick Lahens vom schicksalhaften Neben-, Mit- und Gegeneinander der Großfamilien Lafleur und Mésidor, die einen Bauern, Fischer und Diener der Voodoogeister, die anderen Großgrundbesitzer. Es entsteht ein einzigartiges Porträt des ländlichen Haiti mit seinen traditionellen Glaubensvorstellungen und Bräuchen. Dabei werden immer wieder die Trennlinien zwischen denen, die stets 'Jäger' und denen, die immer 'Beute' sind, sichtbar. Ein Sittengemälde, dessen Faszination man sich nicht entziehen kann.

    Sweet Undoings

    "Love and corruption drive Lahens’s elegant and spirited account of contemporary Port-au-Prince, Haiti . . . The vivid scenes of joyful nightlife and passionate desire are shot through with moments of harrowing danger and sadness. Lahens offers readers a memorable tableau." —Publishers Weekly "From the earliest pages of Lahens’ novel, there’s a profound sense of absence . . . This is a slow-burning and empathic work. Lahens occasionally shifts the book from third person to first for a passage or two, creating a sense of these disparate lives overlapping in unexpected ways. This is a book in which violence is never far away, but in which there’s also room for hard-earned epiphanies. Lahens’ latest turns its contradictions into the stuff of compelling drama." —Kirkus Reviews
