I enjoyed the book and have now loaned to friend is a Hemingwayista of the first order. He has a white beard, has run with the bulls and even entered one of those Hemingway look-a-like contests down in Key West. I await his reaction to the book.Fred Garberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308938520063396329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-1157504644994839552006-09-05T19:04:00.000-06:002006-09-05T19:04:00.000-06:00"we'd like to thank you herbert hoover..."

You know I liked the book. I...Nice review, Michael. You know I liked the book. I thought Padura's prose really honed in on Conde's dilemma, plus the Hemingway trivia was an extra special. There is a tremendous amount of fiction coming out of or about Cuba in the last few years. Read a few of Padura's interviews online and you will get a feel for what it's like to write about Cuba, while living in Cuba. In any event, you added some depth to my understanding of this novel. Thank you. However, one thing -- I think you mean J. Edgar rather than Herbert.Manuel Ramoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360072661844419063noreply@blogger.com
