When Haitians tell a tale, they state "Krik?" and the keen fans reply "Krak!" In Krik? Krak! In her next book, Edwidge Danticat establishes himself whilst the newest heir to that story convention with nine stories that encompass both cruelties and the high ideals of Haitian life. They tell of women who proceed caring behind prison walls and in the facial skin of unfathomable damage; of the people who avoid the violence of the rulers through the forces of creativity.
