A book about choosing to live and not to die, to fight, to survive, to thrive.
-Edwidge Danticat
Nothing is more eloquent than the voice of those who endure and try valiantly to survive.
-Noam Chomsky
Lavil brings to the fore the voices of the people of the wounded city of Port-au-Prince ... these stories are redolent of both pride and fears of an uncertain future.
-Paul Farmer, author, Haiti After the Earthquake
Lavil is a powerful collection of testimonies, which include tales of violence, poverty, and instability but also joy, hustle, and the indomitable will to survive.
-Vice
Lavil is not just a recitation of complaint and tragedy, though those are certainly included within it. It provides, instead, a chorus of stubborn and lively persistence-of a kind one can usually only imagine.
-Amy Wilentz, Los Angeles Review of Books
