Small point: this is why I also love NYRB:

"I feel as if I am receiving an education due to precise quotes from sources far beyond my post-colonial, handsomely erudite, and patch-worked required readings. I love to hear the writerly voice of a biographer or geologist talking about a 1930's New England mining town ravaged by copper in a well, or a 19th century émigré who must some how settle for winter at the Danish coast because of a decree viciously enforced after a czar was blown to bits."

A.m.a.z.i.n.g. post!!! I have to study it, see the movie, etc. Still have to reread Explosion in a Cathedral. Meanwhile still have to go to Haiti. Jacmel is also supposed to be one of the least deforested areas, I hear. But I want to go up to Cap Haitien and see everything that appears in The Kingdom of This World.
