About the Author

Отрывок из книги

If Christians paid more attention in school they would remember about Saturday night. They would know that the Miraculous One goes by other names too, like Lord of Saturday, Father of the Dead, Spirit of Death; or, the one my Haitian children use: Baron Samedi. What’s that you say, baby? Yesss…Samedi is French for Saturday, the day He died. But the Christ’s valiant journey to the underworld to gather lost souls never gets much play; it’s his return on Easter Sunday to rise in glory from the dead that steals the show every time. Not surprising, really, since everyone makes such a fuss about life. Call me biased, but I’m into death.

No death without life, I like to say. ‘Round and ‘round it goes, from the grave to the stage and back again! You want my job, you better be an expert on getting down, baby, and, yesss, dying. Haitians love that delicious and dangerous combination. Mmm…That’s why I like hanging with them and will attend their ceremonies, but only IF properly plied with the right rum and cigars. And it is true that I love, love, love to dance. Watch this smooth move. Uh huh. You get my groove.

Thankful for a respite from the heat, Maya turned over and prayed for sleep—a dreamless sleep, please God. But she would not be spared.
