Trade Review
“Jan Dominique’s probing and powerful memoir is both a beautiful record of a nightmarish year and a chronicle of her reawakening as a writer. Spanning her relationship with her assassinated larger-than-life father and the process of writing a novel, this book is a poignant reflection of Dominque’s unique style and masterful prose, and is, like her other works, a book to be treasured and pored over and over again” - Edwidge Danticat

“As an elegy written to her illustrious father, Wandering Memory broadens the availability of Jan J. Dominique’s work and adds to the archive of materials in English about the inimitable Jean Dominique.” - Régine Michelle Jean-Charles, Boston College, author of Conflict Bodies: The Politics of Rape Representation in the Francophone Imaginary
