In Haiti, so wie ich es verstehe, ist das Geschichtenerzählen und die Geschichte selbst kein Geschäft, in dem notwendigerweise Fakten oder die Wahrheit eines Vorfalls aufgeklärt werden müssen, sondern die Version zu finden, die am unterhaltsamsten ist und daher in Unsterblichkeit weitergegeben wird.
