King of Cuba
by Cristina Garcia - Fiction

Vivid and teeming with life, KING OF CUBA transports readers to Cuba and Miami, and into the heads of two larger-than-life men: a fictionalized Fidel Castro and an octogenarian Cuban exile obsessed with seeking revenge against the dictator. García’s masterful twinning of these characters combines with a rabble of other Cuban voices to portray the passions and realities of two Cubas --- on the island and off --- in a pulsating story that entertains and illuminates.
