The daughter of Haitian journalist and pro-democracy activist Jean
Leopold Dominique, who was assassinated in 2000, Jan J. Dominique
offers a memoir that provides a uniquely personal perspective on
the tumultuous end of the twentieth century in Haiti. Wandering
Memory is her elegy for a father and an ode to a beloved, suffering
homeland. The book charts the biographical, emotional, and literary
journey of a woman moving from one place to another, attempting to
return to her craft and put together the pieces of her life in the
aftermath of family tragedy. Dominique writes eloquently about
love, loss, and traumas both horrifically specific and tragically
universal. For readers familiar with Jean Dominique and his life's
work at Radio Hai ti, the book offers an intimate perspective on a
tale of mythic proportions. For the reading public at large, it
offers an approachable and resonant introduction to contemporary
Haitian literature, history, and identity.
