Create dangerously, for people who read dangerously. This is what I’ve always thought it meant to be a writer.
-Edwidge Danticat, Create Dangerously: The Immigrant Artist at Work
Looking for a great weekend read? Grab your library card and go check out Create Dangerously, Edwidge Danticat’s freshly-released book of compelling, thoughtful essays on Haiti. Danticat is a Haitian-born writer and journalist who immigrated to the U.S. at the age of twelve. Now she lives in Miami, frequently returning to Haiti on assignment. In Create Dangerously, Danticat reflects on the bravery of writers, artists, and even a radio commenter who have taken risks to convey political meaning, and the bravery of readers, viewers, and audiences who have listened.
Learn more in this excellent interview of Danticat discussing her book, from American Public Media’s Marketplace.
