«Yanvalou pour Charlie» is the novel by Lyonel Trouillot, published by Actes Sud in paperback (176 pages, in French).
Mathurin D. Saint-Fort, a young lawyer who has tried to leave his humble origins behind, sees Charlie appear: a teenager from his village who is fleeing after a robbery attempt and asks for his help. Four voices take turns telling this forced reunion with poverty, memory and guilt, in a journey through the margins of Haiti that questions loyalty to one's roots and the possibility of belonging to a community.
Originally published in 2009, the novel won the Prix Wepler-Fondation La Poste. It belongs to the Babel collection from Actes Sud.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in Haitian literature and social conflicts.
