{"product_id":"street-of-lost-footsteps-lyonel-trouillot-9780803294509","title":"Street of Lost Footsteps: Rue Des Pas-Perdus","description":"Lyonel Trouillot's harrowing novel depicts a night of blazing violence in modern-day Port-au-Prince and recalls hundreds of years of violence stretching back even before the birth of Haiti in the fires of revolution. Three narrators--a madam, a taxi driver, and a post office employee--describe in almost hallucinatory terms the escalating chaos of a bloody uprising that pits the partisans of the Prophet against the murderous might of the great dictator Deceased Forever-Immortal. The drama of promise and betrayal in Haitian life inform's \u003ci\u003eStreet of Lost Footsteps\u003c\/i\u003e with the grim irony and savage tenderness characteristic of writers for whom the repetitiveness of history has gone beyond tragedy, through farce, and on into insanity. With impressive originality and touching immediacy, Trouillot explores the nature of political oppression, memory, and truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lyonel Trouillot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803294506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803294509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.66h x 5.00w x 0.32d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Literary Award - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2004 pg. 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/17\/2008 pg. 40","brand":"Lyonel Trouillot","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981253869823,"sku":"9780803294509","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a5cb1650-db30-4d48-9115-f18eee61bc31.jpg?v=1683254506","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/street-of-lost-footsteps-lyonel-trouillot-9780803294509","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
