Praise for Antoine of Gommiers: “With Antoine of Gommiers, Trouillot proposes a dialectic that explains the crisis not only in Haiti but also in the modern world…and asks us to learn to merge our dreams in order to live harmoniously.” —Los Angeles Review of Books “A book about the quest for the Haitian identity, both a magic tale and a painful everyday life account, between prosaicness and lyricism.” —France Culture
