'Gay's writing is unparalleled' Forbes

In these clever and haunting stories, Gay explores the Haitian diaspora experience.

A married couple seeking boat passage to America prepares to leave their homeland. A young woman procures a voodoo love potion to ensnare a childhood classmate. A mother takes a foreign soldier into her home as a boarder, and into her bed. And a woman conceives a daughter on the bank of a river while fleeing a horrific massacre, a daughter who later moves to America for a new life but is perpetually haunted by the mysterious scent of blood.

Wise, fanciful and daring, Ayiti is the book that put Roxane Gay on the map, and now with two previously uncollected stories, confirms her singular vision.
