"This world produces malaise, that's what I'm talking in this book made of fragments of reality, especially on the predators who run Haiti and which leave nothing to the other" declares the author. In an interview on France Info few hours before the award of the Prix Goncourt, Lyonel Trouillot said "I feel calm, if it comes [the Goncourt] is a good thing not only for me but for Haiti, because I'm Haitian, is a country that is so poorly known, it could draw attention on Haiti for other reasons..."
