Produktbeschreibung
"Beautiful...bizarre...dangerous...exotic, a Garden of Eden fallen into despair, a tiny nation of unimaginable misery and unpredictable grace, an island where life is a kind of literature, a world of unlimited impossibility." This is Herbert Gold's Haiti, a country of extraordinary paradox and remarkable extremes.

In Best Nightmare on Earth, Herbert Gold explores the secret life of this vibrant, volatile, violent land, and reflects on the country's history and politics, culture and folklore. In his many Haitian travels, he has dined with Graham Greene, chatted with the hated Duvalier oppressors, and traded stories with CIA saboteurs, former Nazis, rum-soaked diplomats, and voodoo priests. He has followed the traffic in Haitian blood to American hospitals and watched the AIDS epidemic take its toll.
Five decades ago, award-winning author Herbert Gold traveled to Haiti on a Caribbean version of the Fulbright Scholarship
