Críticas:
"Dany Laferriere is that very rare writer who can make you laugh out loud and also make your soul ache. His work is smart, edgy, and extremely sexy. "Heading South" is all of these things and more."--Edwidge Danticat, author of "Breath, Eyes, Memory"
"Deftly presented, this evocation of a sultry, seamy island paradise serves as the literary counterpart of the joyous, funky music of Haiti and the paintings of its "naive" school of artists, who present exaggerated figures in a rough and brightly colored world"—"Library Journal"
."..a slim novel of poetic beauty and political hardball about his native Haiti from the Montreal-dwelling author whose How to Make Love to a Negro (1985) was a cult sensation"--"Elle" Magazine
"Laferriere's scintillating American debut recounts the sexual adventures of an eclectic cast of characters... In each storylike chapter, Laferriere reveals the workings of race, class, and colonialism in Haitian society and the manipulative sexual power that underlies it all." --"Publishers Weekly"

On the sun-drenched island of Haiti in the 1970s, under the shadow of ?Baby Doc” Duvalier’s notorious regime, locals eke out an existence as servants, bartenders and panderers to the white elite. Fanfan, Charlie, and Legba, aware of the draw of their adolescent, black bodies, seduce rich, middle-aged white tourists looking for respite from their colourless jobs and marriages.
These ?relationships” mirror the power struggle inherent in all transactions in Port-au-Prince’s seedy back streets. Heading South takes us into the world of artists, rappers, Voodoo priests, hotel owners, uptight Parisian journalists and partner-swapping Haitian lovers, all desperately trying to balance happiness with survival.
Made into an award-winning film starring Charlotte Rampling, this provocative novel, translated for the first time into English, explores the lines between sexual liberation and exploitation, artistic freedom and appropriation, independence and colonialism.
