Thank you for putting feet on the ground. All those places closed - “The Bibliothèque Nationale, The Bureau National d'Ethnologie, The Musée du Panthéon National Haïtien,The Théâtre National, The École Nationale, The Rex Theater" - makes my heart ache.
nice piece. particularly like the section with Erol Josué, although it is also very depressing and tragic. thanks for continuing to report on Haiti in difficult times.
Exquisite writing as usual and such a detailed history lesson. Its complexity is challenging to grasp, for someone who’s not been paying attention. With regard to the Baz, they are the equivalent of Frankenstein’s monster, according to my understanding of this. In the photograph of the mural, what exactly are those bundles leaning against? Is this fiber for fuel purposes or making textile?

Yes, Anna, I am afraid you would not recognize Port-au-Prince from the old days.

Thanks very much for reading, Malcolm.

Thanks so much for the kind words, Ann. I am actually not sure what those bundles are to be honest with you!
