Epilogue: Women like us
[Español] Cuando los haitianos cuentan una historia, dicen "¿Krik?" y los ansiosos oyentes responden "¡Krak!" ¿En Krik? ¡Crak! Edwidge Danticat se consagra como la última heredera de esa tradición narrativa con nueve historias que abarcan tanto las crueldades como los altos ideales de la vida haitiana. Hablan de mujeres que siguen amando detrás de los muros de la prisión y ante una pérdida insondable; de un pueblo que resiste la brutalidad de sus gobernantes mediante los poderes de la imaginación. El resultado es una colección que indigna, entristece y transporta al lector con su pura belleza.
[English] When Haitians tell a story, they say "Krik?" and the eager listeners answer "Krak!" In Krik? Krak! Edwidge Danticat establishes herself as the latest heir to that narrative tradition with nine stories that encompass both the cruelties and the high ideals of Haitian life. They tell of women who continue loving behind prison walls and in the face of unfathomable loss; of a people who resist the brutality of their rulers through the powers of imagination. The result is a collection that outrages, saddens, and transports the reader with its sheer beauty.
