You’ve just ordered dinner.
You’re waiting for your lobster.

Dany Laferriere was in Haiti when the earthquake struck, and this book is his account of the events during and after.
He writes about friends, family, and experiences of seeing people all around Haiti, in beautiful prose and short segments.
I loved that you actually feel like you are there.
And that he is so honest in his description of not only what was happening in the outside world around him, but also inside his mind.
