Harvard Book Store is pleased to welcome guest editors LAURENT DUBOIS and KAIAMA L. GLOVER for a discussion of their contributions to Transition magazine's 111th issue.

Transition issue 111, “New Narratives of Haiti,” presents essays and poetry on Haiti by leading writers, scholars, and journalists—including Gina Athena Ulysse, Madison Smartt Bell, and Jonathan Katz—and features translations of works by Franketienne, Lyonel Trouillot, and Michel-Rolph Trouillot. Laurent Dubois and Kaiama L. Glover, joined by Gina Athena Ulysse and other guests, will briefly introduce and read short selections from the issue at Harvard Book Store.
