A New Chapter in the Haitian Nightmare

The nation’s downward spiral toward a Hobbesian war of all against all seems endless.

The American writer, Herbert Gold, who lived there for part of his life, wrote a marvelous memoir, calling Haiti “the best nightmare on earth.” Haiti is the only country I have been to where starveling children have tried to snatch food from my plate, insinuating their stick-thin wrists through the grille that supposedly protected the restaurant’s customers.


Barbeque getting a bad rap?
