520 8  In the West African nation of Togo, applying for the U.S. 
       Diversity Visa Lottery is a national obsession, with 
       hundreds of thousands of Togolese entering each year. From
       the street frenzy of the lottery sign-up period and the 
       scramble to raise money for the embassy interview, to the 
       gamesmanship of those adding spouses and dependents to 
       their dossiers, the application process is complicated, 
       expensive, and unpredictable. In 'The Fixer' Charles Piot 
       follows Kodjo Nicolas Batema, a Togolese visa broker-known
       as a "fixer"--As he shepherds his clients through the 
       application and interview process. Relaying the 
       experiences of the fixer, his clients, and embassy 
       officials, Piot captures the ever-evolving cat-and-mouse 
       game between the embassy and the hopeful Togolese, as well
       as the disappointments and successes of lottery winners in
       the United States. These detailed and compelling stories 
       uniquely illustrate the desire and savviness of migrants 
       as they work to find what they hope will be a better life
