Waiting For Snow In Havana
Author: Carlos Eire
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 147110835X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 579
Book Description
A childhood in a privileged household in 1950s Havana was joyous and cruel, like any other-but with certain differences. The neighbour's monkey was liable to escape and run across your roof. Surfing was conducted by driving cars across the breakwater. Lizards and firecrackers made frequent contact. Carlos Eire's childhood was a little different from most. His father was convinced he had been Louis XVI in a past life. At school, classmates with fathers in the Batista government were attended by chauffeurs and bodyguards. At a home crammed with artifacts and paintings, portraits of Jesus spoke to him in dreams and nightmares. Then, in January 1959, the world changes: Batista is suddenly gone, a cigar-smoking guerrilla has taken his place, and Christmas is cancelled. The echo of firing squads is everywhere. And, one by one, the author's schoolmates begin to disappear-spirited away to the United States. Carlos will end up there himself, without his parents, never to see his father again. Narrated with the urgency of a confession, WAITING FOR SNOW IN HAVANA is both an ode to a paradise lost and an exorcism. More than that, it captures the terrible beauty of those times in our lives when we are certain we have died-and then are somehow, miraculously, reborn.

Cuba
Author: Babette Becker
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
This book Cuba: Waiting takes place in Cuba, a country still a half-century backward in much of its business, production, and daily life and still holding on to the beliefs and way of life of Fidel Castro. The book also traces some of the elements of a very fraught relationship that the author had with a Cuban neurosurgeon during the several years she went there. However, the protagonist is a woman named Jenna who works for a magazine that would like to replace her with younger writers. The magazine gives Jenna her "swan song" assignment to go to Cuba and write about the presence and ownership of antique and classic cars worth thousands of dollars in today's market that are still preserved there. This is not a memoir nor a work of nonfiction; it is not a series of linked short stories, but it is a series of mosaics--flashes of experiences, events, and contemplations with themes throughout the book that provide the binding for the story. It is poignant, humorous, and sad but delightful. Enjoy!
