About the book:

Playful, kinetic, and devastating in turn, You Were Watching from the Sand is a story collection in which Haitian men, women, and children who find their lives cleaved by interminably strange events bite back with their own oddities. Written in a mixture of high lyricism, absurdist comedy, and Haitian cultural witticisms, this is a collection whose dynamism matches that of its characters at every turn.
