Book Title
The Farming of Bones
Author
Edwidge Danticat
Book Description
My signature work "What Remains" was inspired by this wonderful novel. The writing mesmerized and moved me to make a dance piece displaying the inability to move one's life beyond the horror that one experiences. Danticat is a prolific writer who is a true voice of my generation. I am honored to be associated with such an amazing piece of literature.
