Madame Dread



Kathie Klarreich
September 2005     ISBN: 1560257806


Kathie Klarreich takes us on an enthralling, often deeply personal voyage through Haitian society, culture, religion and politics. Risking life and limb, being mistaken for a CIA agent, losing the man she loved to an assassin's bullet--through all this, Kathie Klarreich soldiered on in her tenacious reporting. Her unsparing eye led major news organizations like the New York Times, NBC, CNN, PBS, Time and NPR to rely on her expertise.

Madame Dread interweaves shattering political events with a riveting personal narrative about the Haitian musician she eventually marries and has a child with, who turns out to be as complicated and fascinating as the social upheavals she covered.

About the Authors

Kathie Klarreich now lives in Florida. She has reported on Haiti for The Christian Science Monitor, the San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, All Things Considered, U.S. News & World Report and the New York Times, as well as NBC, CNN and ABC.
