Book Synopsis
Depicting a night of blazing violence in modern-day Port-au-Prince, this novel recalls many years of violence stretching back even before the birth of Haiti in the fires of revolution. Featuring three narrators - a madam, a taxi driver, and a post office employee, it explores the nature of political oppression, memory, and truth.

Trade Review
"The colloquial monologues are scalding. They light up the reader like a torch. Corruption and despair do not phase our trio. The old madam achieves a wistful catharsis. The postal worker and Lawrence make everyday living exquisite. And the taxi driver turns the Street of Lost Footsteps from a nightmare zone into a destination."-Nicholas Burns, Review of Contemporary Fiction -- Nicholas Burns Review of Contemporary Fiction
