A heartbreaking, funny, and brilliantly inventive novel with a narrator who erupts and disrupts the pavements of the Cuban-American experience by showing us that the most accurate, if not truthful, fact comes from the memory of the impassioned heart. --Helena MarÃa Viramontes, author of Under the Feet of Jesus
A novel that exists in a realm where beauty and memory and longing are one. --Junot DÃaz, bestselling, Pulitzer Prize- winning author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
Oscar Delossantos is about to lose his job as a teacher at a Jesuit high school in Chicago. Rather than go quietly, he embarks on a valiant last history lesson that chronicles the flight from Cuba of his makeshift extended family. Evoking the struggle between nostalgia and the realities of the Cuban Revolution with both grit and lyricism, he inspires his students with an altogether dazzling reinterpretation of the Cuban-American experience.
