Krik? Krak! (1995) is a historical and postcolonial short story collection by Haitian-American writer Edwidge Danticat, consisting of nine short stories plus an epilogue. The collection is written mostly from the perspective of different female narrators living in Haiti and in New York City. The book follows these characters as they deal with the loss, separation and trauma resulting from Haiti's colonial history, the mass killings of Haitians during the Parsley Massacre in 1937 and the oppression of the Duvalier regime. The epilogue ties the stories together through the narrator's reflections that every Haitian woman's story is connected and is carried on by new generations. The book was finalist for the National Book Award for fiction in 1995.
