Cuba A Traveler's Literary Companion
edited by Anne Louise Bardach

From the Traveler's Literary Companions series.

Travel to Cuba in the company of its finest writers and gain an understanding of its remarkable mystique. The twenty-one stories in this collection - some of which appear in English for the first time - will take you on an odyssey through the country's rich past to its dynamic present, where it is poised at the brink of immense change. Arranged by the areas of Cuba they illuminate, these stories offer up a rich literary banquet.

"The eighth in this engaging international series offers 22 short stories and excerpts from longer works (several previously unavailable in English). . . . The stories are generally superior--notably Lino Novás Calvo's thriller-like "The Dark Night of Ramón Yendia," Ana Menéndez's plaintive "Her Mother's House," and the ultimate assimilation story: "We Came All the Way from Cuba So You Could Dress Like This?," by Achy Obejas (a witty, serious farce that's every bit as good as its title). On balance, a worthy addition to a splendid series. "
