About The Author

Ian Thomson's account of Haiti, Bonjour Blanc was highly praised in Britain and America. He was one of the last to interview Primo Levi, and the first to journey in his tracks as a biographer. His biography, Primo Levi, has been highly praised and has won the W. H. Heinemann Award. He is a freelance writer and journalist living in London with his wife and children.

Outstandingly the best account in recent years of life in the weirdest of all tropical islands
Other text

Simply the best book I've read on Haiti… Bonjour Blanc is more than a travel book – his meticulous historical research and his courage to experience the most daunting adventures firsthand elevate him above the scoundrel-category of travel writer. He is a formidable historian and a first-class journalist
