ABOUT EDWIDGE'S WORK
Edwidge Danticat is a novelist whose moving and insightful depictions of Haiti’s complex history are enriching our understanding of the Haitian immigrant experience. In works that chronicle the lives of ordinary Haitians, she evokes themes of family, isolation, and community that, while grounded in a specific cultural milieu, resonate with a wide range of audiences. With graceful, deceptively simple prose, she recounts the 1937 massacre of Haitian workers in the Dominican Republic in The Farming of Bones (1999); told through the eyes of a young domestic servant, the story of the atrocity becomes one of cultural and spiritual survival. In The Dewbreaker (2004), a series of seemingly disconnected stories are revealed to revolve around the same traumatic events. Danticat challenges readers of these stories to understand and forgive a perpetrator of horrific atrocities committed in a distant time and place, illustrating how events in Haiti continue to haunt the immigrants of the diaspora. Her most recent book, a memoir entitled Brother, I’m Dying (2007), pays tribute to her father and uncle through an unflinching account of the triumphs and tragedies they experienced in Haiti and the United States. In these and other works, Danticat provides a nuanced portrait of the intersection between nation and diaspora, home and exile, and reminds us of the power of human resistance, renewal, and endurance against great obstacles.

Edwidge Danticat received a B.A. (1990) from Barnard College and an M.F.A. (1993) from Brown University.

Danticat has been a visiting professor of creative writing at New York University (1996-1997) and the University of Miami (2000 and 2008).

关于埃德维吉的作品
埃德维吉-丹蒂卡是一位小说家,她对海地复杂历史的动人描述和深刻见解,丰富了我们对海地移民经历的理解。在记录普通海地人生活的作品中,她唤起了关于家庭、孤独和社区的主题,这些主题虽然立足于特定的文化环境,但却引起了广大读者的共鸣。在《骨头的耕作》(1999年)中,她用优雅的、看似简单的散文叙述了1937年海地工人在多米尼加共和国的大屠杀;通过一个年轻的家庭佣人的眼睛,这个暴行的故事变成了一个文化和精神的生存。在《破露者》(The Dewbreaker)(2004年)中,一系列看似不相干的故事被揭示出来,围绕着同样的创伤事件。丹提卡挑战这些故事的读者去理解和原谅一个在遥远的时间和地点犯下可怕暴行的人,说明海地的事件如何继续困扰着散居的移民。她最近的著作是一本名为《兄弟,我快死了》(2007)的回忆录,通过对她父亲和叔叔在海地和美国所经历的胜利和悲剧的坚定叙述,向他们表示敬意。在这些作品和其他作品中,丹蒂卡对国家和散居地、家园和流放地之间的交集进行了细致入微的描述,并提醒我们人类抵抗、更新和忍耐巨大障碍的力量。
