Aunt Resia and the Spirits and Other Stories
By:Yanick Lahens,Betty Wilson
Published on 2010-01-01 by
The men and women glimpsed in Lahens's stories are confronted with the overwhelming task of simply staying alive. |The Survivors| unfolds under the Duvalier dictatorship and, centered on a group of men who dream of somehow striking out against the regime, shows how fear is passed down from generation to generation. Life is no simpler in the post-Duvalier world of the title story, in which a young man is caught between a mother who lives a devout life filled with self-imposed restrictions and an exuberant Vodouist aunt who makes no apologies for working in the black market. The twelve-year-old girl who narrates |Madness Had Come with the Rain| finds herself swept up in a violent riot following the death of a modern Robin Hood. Lahens' women, although they may act as the poto mitan (or |central pole|) in family life and society, experience a particularly grim fate. In the eviction tale |And All This Unease| a beautiful girl reminisces about her happy childhood in the country in order to forget her current life as a prostitute.
