Cuba and the Night

Pico Iyer

Having captivated readers with such gems of travel writing as Video Night in Kathmandu, Pico Iyer now presents a novel whose central character is another place: the melancholy, ebullient, and dazzlingly inconsistent island that is Castro's Cuba. -On almost every page you can smell the dust, the cheap perfume and the rum of Havana today, or better still, tonight.---Los Angeles Times.
