Born in Haiti&#8217;s capital, Port-au-Price, Danticat moved to Brooklyn when she was twelve years old. At the time, she spoke both Creole and French, but not English. Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, inspires Danticat&#8217;s fiction and informs her non-fiction. Her new memoir Brother, I&#8217;m Dying tells a deeply affecting story of Danticat&#8217;s father Mira and his older brother Joseph, who attempted to flee Haiti for Miami in 2004 and was detained by US Customs, held by the Department of Homeland Security, brutally imprisoned, and dead within days. Danticat served as editor for The Butterfly&#8217;s Way: Voices from the Haitian Dyaspora in the United States. She lives in Miami and frequently visits Haiti.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edwidge Danticat In conversation Monday, October 15, 2007\u00a0 |\u00a0 Herbst Theatre, 8pm\u00a0 San Francisco Edwidge Danticat is the author of Krik?
