  7. Discoveries

    <b>Create Dangerously: The Immigrant Artist at Work by Edwidge Danticat</b> ( Princeton University Press: 181 pp., $19.95) "Create dangerously, for people who read dangerously. This is what I've always thought it meant to be a writer. Writing, knowing in part that no matter how trivial your words may seem, someday, somewhere, someone may risk his or her life to read them."Edwidge Danticat grew up in Haiti in the 1970s, under the dictatorship of Jean-Claude Duvalier. Danticat was born in 1969, but the story of the 1964 public execution of revolutionaries Marcel Numa and Louis Drouin was her creation myth &#8212; their courage, she writes, like the courage it must have taken Eve to take a bite of the apple; their deaths like Adam and Eve's expulsion from Eden. Danticat moved from Haiti to Brooklyn when she was 12. The beloved elderly uncle who had cared for her when her parents moved in 1971 to Brooklyn was persecuted by local gangs in Port-au-Prince, sought asylum in the U.S., was interrogated by U.S. officials, brutally incarcerated in Miami and died within days of his arrival. (She tells his story in her 2007 memoir, "Brother, I'm Dying.") Many of her loved ones, including two cousins, Maxo and his 10-year-old son, Nozial, were killed in this year's earthquake. In these essays, Danticat tells the stories of fellow Haitians: Alerte Belance, brutally hacked by machetes during the 1991 military coup; the journalist Jean Dominique, assassinated in 2000; and others. "The immigrant artist shares with all the other artists the desire to interpret and possibly remake his or her own world." These essays, reminiscent of Maurice Blanchot's "The Writing of the Disaster," (1980) are full of the images that have formed Danticat, the writer. She rearranges them in a collage. Haitians say that Haiti is "te, glise," she writes, "slippery ground." These essays are her effort to hold onto and even re-create her homeland.
