But there is also the army of zombies that takes over the streets at night, while the American army occupies the country by day. What is this country of dead men? Is every Haitian a secret citizen? Is it possible for Laferriere to cross over to that country and then return?Laferriere wanders through Port-au-Prin.
"L'histoire d'un retour. Après vingt années passées à Montréal et Miami, l'auteur rentre chez lui, à Port-au-Prince, Haïti. Le pays, en apparence, est le même. Mais au fil des jours, des silences de ses proches, des mots chuchotés par la rue, c'est à une enquête sur les morts qu'il se livre : zombis haïtiens et fantômes installés dans le quotidien de chaleur et de bruit de la ville."

"Après vingt ans passés à l'étranger, un homme rentre chez lui, à Port-au-Prince. Le pays, en apparence, n'a pas changé. L'odeur du café est la même, la pauvreté aussi, crue et violente, jusqu'aux amis qui sont restés fidèles à leur jeunesse.--[Memento]."
