Cuba on the Verge
(eBook)

"{An} anthology of stupendously astute essays...Guerriero's meticulously curated dozen essays offers an irresistibly beckoning window onto a nation just 90 miles from American shores, though far away in practice and culture." - Booklist (starred review) "...This anthology captures much of the broad, surreal spectrum of experience possible on the world's most complex and controversial island." - Alex Mar, author of Witches of America "These essays speak to and against one another, they cannot be politically aligned, and that is all as it should be - but what unites them is brilliant writing, a depth of intelligence, and a desire to pull us down from fantastic abstractions to the level of the human." - Justin Torres, author of We the Animals "{A} fascinating anthology . . . Not quite a travelogue, this appealing volume will nevertheless satisfy any Americans wanting to be transported into the lives and experiences of real Cubans." - Publishers Weekly "This fascinating collection of essays explores Cuba's modern transformation, tackling topics from politics to music to baseball. You'll find yourself both informed and entertained." - Paste Magazine "{An} excellent new anthology." - New York Review of Books
